IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.18720 of 2011 MAMTA DEVI AND ORS. Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 14.6.2011 This petition is not maintainable because the petitioners are already on police bail. It is a matter to be regretted that in similar circumstances the Sessions Judges of Bihar are entertaining petitions of anticipatory bail in cases in which the accused are enjoying the privilege of bail granted to them by the police. When an accused is already on bail, no pre- arrest remedy could be available and, as such, no petition under Section 438 Cr. P.C. could be maintained. The petition, as such, is dismissed as not maintainable. The Registrar General of the Court shall place this order before the Court so as to be circulated amongst the District and Sessions Judges so that there is no frivolous filing of such petitions and if such petitions are received the same are dismissed at the very threshold of filing of the petition.
