IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.28987 of 2009 KAMAL KISHORE BINDU Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 26.08.2009 Heard the learned Counsel for the petitioner and the learned counsel for the State. On the previous occasion the prayer for anticipatory bail was withdrawn on 24.11.2008 in Cr. Misc. No. 44642 of 2008 to avoid an adverse verdict. The submission is that subsequently co-accused have been granted anticipatory bail in Cr. Misc. Nos. 3034 of 2009, 2241 of 2009 on 1.5.2009 and in Cr. Misc. No. 44576 of 2008 on 23.1.2009. The subsequent grant of anticipatory bail to a co- accused cannot be a ground to reconsider the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner. It is a matter of common knowledge and practice that any order of rejection of an application for bail is not placed before the other Bench which grants the bail. Nonetheless in view of the fact that certain co- accused, stated to be having common allegations, have in fact been granted anticipatory bail, any application for regular bail on behalf of the petitioner shall be considered by the court below on the date that he surrenders and disposed off in accordance with law keeping in mind the fact that anticipatory bail has in fact been granted to some of the co-accused without being prejudiced by the present order. This application is disposed off. Snkumar/- (Navin Sinha,J.)
