IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr. Misc. No.35781 of 2009 CHHOTAN MAHATO @ RAMESH Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2/ 14.10.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner was earlier rejected on 29.11.2006 in a case under Sections 323, 341, 427 and other allied Sections of Indian Penal Code and Sections 25/26/35 of the Arms Act. The allegation is that when the police chased the petitioner, he threw his gun in the wheat field. Learned counsel submits that not even a single number of police party has been examined to support the prosecution case regarding the chase of the petitioner and other accused persons by the police party. After hearing the parties, I am not inclined to interfere with my earlier order. Accordingly, his prayer for anticipatory bail is again rejected. The petitioner must surrender before the court below (Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Bagaha in Ram Nagar P.S. case no. 56 of 2003) and pray for grant of regular bail. The trial court is directed to take steps to expedite the trial. Uday/ (Samarendra Pratap Singh, J.)
