IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.39445 of 2009 RAMAN KUMAR JHA, SON OF KRISHNA BALLABH JHA, RESIDENT OF VILLAGE – BANGAON, P.S. BATHANI, DISTRICT – SAHARSA.. …. PETITIONER. Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR THRU.C.B.I. . …. OPP. PARTY. ----------- 02/ 13.01.2010 Heard counsel for the petitioner and counsel appearing for the C.B.I. Prayer for anticipatory bail on behalf of this petitioner was rejected earlier by order dated 4.9.2009 passed in Cr. Misc. No. 30497 of 2009. He has renewed his prayer on the ground that similarly situated accused was granted anticipatory bail by this Court in Cr. Misc. No. 42753 of 2008 by order dated 23.12.2008, prior to the rejection of the anticipatory bail application of petitioner. Petitioner had no any knowledge about this order, subsequently when he came to know, present application has been filed for renewing the prayer for anticipatory bail. Considering the fact that at the time of first application the ground, which was taken by the petitioner for grant of anticipatory bail, was considered. Now if he subsequently came to know about any order, that cannot be a good ground for renewal of his prayer. Petitioner may surrender before the court below for grant of regular bail - 2 - and the court below shall consider different orders passed in favour of the similarly situated accused persons, for grant of bail to the petitioner without being prejudiced of the rejection order. This application is dismissed. DKS/ (Mridula Mishra, J.)
