IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.41813 of 2010 RAVI KUMAR @ RAVI Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 26.03.2011 Heard the learned Counsel for the petitioner and the learned counsel for the State. The defence on behalf of the petitioner in a Police case under Sections 373, 274 of the Penal Code and Section 47 A of the Excise Act is grant of anticipatory bail to his brother in Cr. Misc. No. 31283 of 2010 when both have been named by the two persons apprehended in the vehicle in question carrying illicit liquor. It appears that in Cr. Misc., No. 31283 of 2010 anticipatory bail was granted on the ground that co-accused apprehended on the spot had been granted regular bail. This Court finds it difficult to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner on the principle of consistency. This application is rejected. Any application for regular bail on behalf of the petitioner shall be considered by the court below on its own merit including grant of bail to co-accused who has named the petitioner without being prejudiced by the present order.
