IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.22467 of 2009 RAMANAND RAI @ RAMANAND PRASAD Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2 23.07.2009 Petitioner is named accused in a case instituted under Sections 147,148,149,341,323,324, 307,379 and 447 of the Penal Code and Section 27 of the Arms Act. It appears occurrence had taken place in 2003. It is contended that as per allegation in the F.I.R., he is only a member of mob. It is further contended that some of the similarly placed co- accuseds have since been granted the privilege of bail by the courts below. From the record, it appears that petitioner did approach this court for anticipatory bail. The said application was considered and disposed of under order dated 04.08.2005. While refusing his prayer for grant of anticipatory bail, he was directed to surrender within four weeks and pray for regular bail. Petitioner, in breach of the said order, continued to evade arrest for about four years thereafter. Recently, he has been arrested and he is in custody since 30.03.2009. Having regard to said fact, this court is not inclined to admit him to bail. Prayer for bail is accordingly rejected. However, petitioner is granted liberty to renew prayer for bail if within four months from the date of receipt/communication of a copy of this order in the court below, the charges are not framed against him at the trial. Application stands disposed of. Sym/ (Kishore K. Mandal, J.)
