IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.8425 of 2010 VIKASH KUMAR @ VIKASH KUMAR SINGH Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2 16.4.2010 Petitioner apprehends his arrest in connection with Motihari Town P.S. case no. 350 of 2009 dated 23. 10.2009 registered under section 393 of the Indian Penal Code. It is submitted by learned counsel for the petitioner that petitioner has been made an accused in the present case on the basis of confessional statement of a co-accused Vikki and there has been no recovery of incriminating article from his possession and, therefore, he should be extended the privilege of anticipatory bail. Mr. Abhimanayu Sharma, learned A.P.P. appearing for the State has opposed the prayer for anticipatory bail and has pointed out that co- accused Vikky was apprehended by the police at the spot and there he disclosed the name of the petitioner as one of the participant in the commission of crime in question. In that view of the matter, the prayer for anticipatory bail made on behalf of the petitioner is rejected. The petitioner must surrender in the court below within a period of four weeks from today and, if so advised, seek regular bail. If such a petition is filed in the court below, then the same may be disposed of on its own merit without being prejudiced by the present order. (Birendra Prasad Verma, J) M.Rahman - 2 -
