IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.5304 of 2009 BINDESHWAR PRASAD Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR THROUGH VIGILANCE ----------- 02 04.03.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. The prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner was rejected on 12.12.2008 by a reasoned order, noticing the rejection of other similar applications filed by other co-accused. The ground urged for renewal of prayer for anticipatory bail is an earlier anticipatory bail granted to another accused in Cr. Misc. No. 39087 of 2008 on 25.11.2008. It is further pointed out that another co- accused has been granted bail in Cr. Misc. No.37471 of 2008 on 21.11.2008, but no copy of the order has been placed before this Court. From the latter order, it is not possible to discern if, the attention of the Court was drawn to the rejection of three applications for anticipatory bail prior thereto noticed in the order dated 12.12.2008 rejecting the prayer for anticipatory bail of the present petitioner on the previous occasion. There is thus no occasion for this Court to 2 reconsider the prayer for anticipatory bail. The application is rejected. If the petitioner prefers an application for regular bail, the court below is required to consider his application in accordance with law on its own merit and that an accused had also been granted anticipatory bail by this Court without being prejudiced by the present order.
