IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.24417 of 2009 NIRANJAN SHARMA Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2/ 15-10-2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Addl. P.P. for the State. The petitioner apprehends arrest in a police case under section 302 and other provisions of the Penal Code. The submission is that in allegations of firing by three named accused there is one firearm injury by scattered pellets. Considering that the petitioner is alleged to have been a member of a mob some of whom were armed and fired, leading to death, this Court is not persuaded that he is entitled to the privilege of anticipatory bail . The prayer for anticipatory bail is rejected. Any application for regular bail on behalf of the petitioner shall be considered on its own merit without being prejudiced by the present order.
