IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.25284 of 2009 ASHOK KUMAR YADAV Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 05.08.2009 Heard the learned Counsel for the petitioner and the learned counsel for the State. The previous prayer for anticipatory bail was dismissed as withdrawn on 26.11.2008 in Cr. Misc. No. 44618 of 2008. It is submitted that subsequently opposite party no. 1 in the complaint case has been removed from the post of Angan Bari Sevika. The grievance of the complainant therefore stands redressed as her case is now under consideration. The petitioner is stated to be the Chairman of the Selection Committee as the Mukhiya. The allegations in the complaint are of a collusive appointment for consideration. The order sheet of the proceeding before the Collector upon which reliance is placed to renew the prayer for anticipatory bail notices that despite notice to him also the petitioner did not appear before the Collector. The conduct of the petitioner in the latter episode, as noticed above, in the background of the allegations of collusion in the complaint case, does not persuade this Court to grant him the privilege of anticipatory bail. This application is rejected. Any application for regular bail on behalf of the petitioner shall be considered by the court below on its own merit without being prejudiced by the present order, keeping in mind that the considerations for grant of anticipatory bail and regular bail are different and any order in the former cannot prejudice the consideration of the latter on its own merit.
