Versus The State of Bihar…………………………….Opposite Party. ----------- 4. 5.5.2009. Petitioner is apprehending his arrest in connection with a case registered for the offence under Section 302 and other allied Sections of the Penal Code and Section 27 of the Arms Act. He is named in the First Information Report alongwith two others and four unknown co-accused. It is submitted on behalf of the petitioner that during the investigation of the case he has not been named by any of the witnesses, such submission can not be appreciated at this stage when the petitioner has remained absconder for about five years as the case was registered on 26.11.2003 and this application for grant of anticipatory bail has been filed on 28.11.2008. In the circumstances, I am not inclined to admit the petitioner to the privilege of bail in the event of arrest as he is named in the First Information Report and remained absconder for about five years. This application is rejected with direction to the petitioner to surrender within four weeks from today in the court of S.D.J.M., Sherghati, District-Gaya in connection with Kothi P.S. Case No. 22 of 2003 and apply for regular bail which should be considered in accordance with law. U.K. (V.N.Sinha,J)
