IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.35744 of 2010 PINTU LAL SINHA & ORS Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 02/ 19.11.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners as well as learned P.P. for the State. Petitioners, namely, Pintu Lal Sinha, Ghanshyam Dubey and Tinkal @ Tinkal Kumar @ Tinkal Singh apprehend their arrest in connection with Rohtas P.S. Case no. 45/2010 registered under sections 341,323,436 and 504/34 of the IPC. It is specifically stated that petitioners set informant’s hut on fire. Although learned counsel for the petitioners tries to convince about innocence of the petitioners by placing submission before me that the informant himself lit fire to his hurt on account of some petty dispute but I am not at all convinced with the aforesaid submission. Furthermore, the impugned order of the learned Sessions Judge reveals that the I.O. has also found the sign of burn on the place of the occurrence. In the aforesaid circumstances, in my view, it is not a fit case for grant of anticipatory bail. Accordingly, their prayer for anticipatory bail stands rejected. However, petitioners are directed to surrender and seek regular bail before the learned court below within thirty days from today. If they do so, the learned court below shall consider regular bail application of the petitioners on its own merit without being prejudiced by this rejection order particularly, keeping in mind that 2 omnibus allegation of setting fire has been levelled against all petitioners. shahid (Hemant Kumar Srivastava,J))
