The petitioner apprehends arrest in a Police case under Sections 371(C) and other provisions of the Penal Code and Section 130(2) of the Bihar Panchayat Raj Act. The submission is that the petitioner was only a member of the mob when co-accused similarly situated have been granted anticipatory bail in Cr. Misc. No. 23639 of 2008. The impugned order of rejection explicitly noticed that the petitioner was one of the members of the unlawful assembly attacking the polling booth and carrying away the ballot box. The witnesses have specifically named him as one of the members of the assembly in paragraph 10 to 14 of the case diary. His acts hitting at the root of the democracy disturbing the polling process does not persuade this Court to grant him the privilege of anticipatory bail merely on the principle of consistency.
