IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.15120 of 2009 BABU SINGH @ DHARMENDRA KUMAR @ DHARMENDRA KUMAR SINGH @ DHARMENDRA SINGH, SON OF LATE DURGI SINGH, RESIDENT OF VILLAGE-RASALPUR, P.S.- MUFFASIL, DISTRICT-GAYA-------------------PETITIONER. Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3. 22.5.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The submission of learned counsel for the petitioner is that there is no eye witness in the case to corroborate the prosecution version and parties have compromised. A liberal view could be taken if there would have been a single non-bailable offence under section 436 of the Indian Penal Code but allegation includes the offence under The Scheduled Castes and The Scheduled Tribes ( Prevention of Atrocities) Act regarding abuse in the name of the accused to humiliate the informant which makes the offence non-bailable and anticipatory bail petition non-maintainable. So, prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner is rejected. However, petitioner may surrender in the court below and pray for regular bail which shall be considered on its own merit without being prejudiced by the rejection order of this Court. Sudip ( Mandhata Singh, J )
