IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.35675 of 2010 RAJ KUMAR MAHTO Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2 16.11.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned counsel for the State. Petitioner is an accused in Complaint Case No.753 of 2000 (Trial No.483 of 2010) for the offences punishable under Section 498A and 323 of the I.P.C. Admittedly, petitioner is husband and the case against him was filed in the year 2000 but he never surrendered before the learned court below, rather he preferred Anticipatory Bail Petition No.11 of 2004 before learned Sessions Judge, but the said anticipatory bail application was rejected and thereafter petitioner absconded. It appears from the impugned order of learned Sessions Judge that petitioner has already been declared absconder by the learned court below. Considering the above stated conduct of the petitioner as well as nature of allegation I am not inclined to grant privilege of anticipatory bail to petitioner, accordingly his prayer for anticipatory bail stands rejected.
