IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Criminal Miscellaneous No.43335 of 2011 Binod Gope @ Chhatanki son of Sri Ram Dayala Gope, Resident of village-Bailawar Ganj, P.S.-Alamganj, District-Patna Versus The State of Bihar ------------ 2. 21.12.2011. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. The petitioner had earlier moved for grant of anticipatory bail in the present case vide Cr. Misc. No.31725 of 2011. The said application was permitted to be withdrawn by order dated 18.10.201. The petitioner has renewed his application for grant of anticipatory bail. Initially, the case was registered against unknown accused persons under section 395 of the Indian Penal Code. In course of investigation, the name of the petitioner transpired on the basis of confessional statement of co-accused. Considering the serious nature of allegation, I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, the same is rejected. However, in case the petitioner surrenders and seeks bail in connection with Gopalpur P.S. Case No.59 of 2011 pending in the court of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Patna, the same shall be considered on its own merit without being prejudiced in any manner by this order. Md.S.
