IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.7464 of 2008 SHYAM NANDAN RAY Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 02.5.2008 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned A.P.P. for the State. The petitioner prays for anticipatory bail in a complaint case in which cognizance has been taken under Section 406 of the Indian Penal Code.
