Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2/ 01.09.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and the State. Case was instituted in the year 1996 and after more than 12 years petitioners have come before this court for grant of anticipatory bail. Counsel for the petitioners submits that on account of submission of Final Form by the police and filing of the compromise petition, they became confident and went to earn their livelihood out side the State. However, Warrant of Arrest has been issued against the petitioners. Considering the undue delay, the prayer for grant of anticipatory bail is rejected. Petitioners may surrender before the court below (Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Jhanjharpur, Madhubani in connection with C.R. Case No. 86 of 1996 / Tr. No. 83 of 2008) and move for regular bail which shall be considered in the facts and circumstances of the case. Uday/ (Mridula Mishra, J.)
