ALL SON OF LATE DASAI MOCHI, RESIDENT OF VILLAGE- GOPALPUR, HARIZAN TOLI, POLICE STATION-BIKRAM, DISTRICT-PATNA. ………………………………………………………PETITIONERS. Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR…………………...OPPOSITE PARTY. ----------- For the Petitioners : Mr. Ravi Kant Kumar, Advocate. For the State : Mr. Mangal Pandit, A.P.P. --------- 2. 14.6.2010. Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned A.P.P. for the State. The petitioners seek bail in anticipation of their arrest in connection with a case registered under Sections 302/34 of the Indian Penal Code besides Section 27 of the Arms Act. It has been submitted on behalf of the petitioners that the allegation of firing against the petitioners is general and omnibus though the petitioners are also named in the F.I.R. with such allegation. Learned counsel further submits that the petitioners had come to know regarding the said case in the year 2009. It has also been submitted that the petitioners had been dragged in this case due to village rivalry. Learned A.P.P. for the State submits that this is a case 2 of the year 1998 and the petitioners had absconded since then and in the year 2009 they had filed anticipatory bail application in the court below which was rejected on 18.4.2009 itself. Thereafter the petitioners have preferred this application before this Court after about one year. Having regard to the facts and the circumstances of the case as the petitioners are named in the F.I.R. with the allegation of resorting to firing due to which a person had died and also the fact that this case is of the year 1998 and the petitioners have filed application for anticipatory bail before the court below in the year 2009, i.e., after about 11 years and even after rejection of the same on 18.4.2009, they had moved this Court after about one year, I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to these petitioners. Accordingly, this application is rejected. The petitioners are directed to surrender in the court below within four weeks. They will be at liberty to seek regular bail. If such prayer is made on their behalf, the same shall be disposed of by the court concerned in accordance with law. P.S. (Dr. Ravi Ranjan, J)
