IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.4344 of 2010 SHEV MAHTO Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3 1.4.2010 KHAN Heard counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner apprehends his arrest in a case under sections 384, 307, 504/34 of the Penal Code. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that from perusal of the F.I.R. it would appear that it was a case of asking Chanda on the eve of Chhath Puja. The allegation against the petitioner is that he assaulted the informant with 2 Kg weight iron with intention to kill her. He further submits that even assuming the prosecution case to be true, no case under sections 384 or 307 of the Penal Code is made out. The petitioner is a regular student of B.A. Part I. of D.S. College, Katihar. Having considered the facts and circumstances of the case, I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. His prayer for bail is rejected. However, if the petitioner surrender and pray for regular bail, the same would be considered on its own merits without being prejudice by the fact that he moved this court for anticipatory bail.
