IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.8168 of 2010 Triloki Nath Singh @ T. N. Singh, son of Late Mahendra Singh, resident of Village- Gahilo, P.S.-Saraiya, District- Muzaffarpur. ……………………….Petitioner. Versus The State of Bihar ………………………Opposite Party. ----------- 2. 16. 04. 2010. Heard Mr. Hari Kishore Thakur, learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner and Mr. R. B. Roy ‘Raman’ learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State. The petitioner apprehends his arrest in connection with Kalyanpur P.S.Case No. 61/2008 dated 15. 05. 2008, registered under Sections 364, 120 B/34 of the Indian Penal Code. According to the prosecution case, one Ravindra Kumar Ravi, son of the informant was abducted by the petitioner along with co-accused Chandan Kumar Singh. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that present F.I.R. has been filed after a delay of three and half months. It is also submitted that co-accused Chandan Kumar Singh @ Satish Chandra Gautam has been granted bail by order dated 23. 12. 2009 passed in Cr. Misc. No. 7104 of 2009 by a Bench of this Court. Certified copy of this order has been filed which is kept on record. Learned counsel for the State has strongly opposed the prayer for grant of anticipatory bail and has pointed out that abducted Ravindra Kumar Ravi is still traceless and has not been recovered as yet despite all efforts. 2 On perusal of the order dated 23. 12. 2009 passed in Cr. Misc. No. 7104 of 2009, it is apparent that this Court while granting bail to co-accused Chandan Kumar Singh @ Satish Chandra Gautam was pleased to notice that main allegation of adduction is against this petitioner and on that ground co-accused Chandan Kumar Singh @ Satish Chandra Gautam was granted bail. Obviously, the case of the petitioner is quite distinguishable from the case of Chandan Kumar Singh @ Satish Chandra Gautam. In that view of the matter and particularly in view of the fact that abducted person is still traceless, prayer for grant of anticipatory bail made on behalf of the petitioner is rejected. The petitioner must surrender in the court below within a period of four weeks from today and if so advised, seek regular bail which may be disposed of on its merit. m.p. ( Birendra Prasad Verma, J.)
