The petitioner apprehends his arrest in a case registered for the offence under Sections 302/34 of the Indian Penal Code. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner is resident of Patna City whereas the instant occurrence took place within Bihta Police Station. He further submits that it would appear from the F.I.R. that there was dispute between the informant’s cousin Dukhan Mahto and one, Shyam Nath Mahto, on account of which Dukhan Mahto had lodged a case. It is further stated in the First Information Report that on account of aforesaid dispute, Shyam Nath Mahto along with his father, cousin brother and three others had caused murder of his father. Learned counsel further submits that he has been implicated in this case, as the petitioner happens to be the maternal brother of Shyam Nath Mahto. Since the petitioner is named as accused in the First Information Report with allegation of being one of the participants in the occurrence, I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to petitioner. His prayer for anticipatory bail is rejected. Uday/ (Samarendra Pratap Singh, J.)
