IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.18660 of 2011 BALESHWAR SINGH Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 02/- 15.06.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State. Petitioner is one of the named accused in this seven years old case. His prayer for anticipatory bail was refused vide order dated 15.09.2006 by a Bench of this Court in Cr. Misc. No. 15161 of 2006. No doubt, subsequently, the petitioner preferred Cr. Misc. No. 28310 of 2007 to quash the order of cognizance. The further proceeding of the court below was stayed for six weeks. Subsequently, it appears that further quashing at the time of admission was dismissed as withdrawn vide order dated 24.10.2008, but the petitioner in spite of that as submitted, remained in village, preferred not to appear before the court below, seeking regular bail or taking any step. He could be apprehended only on 13.04.2011. Taking into consideration the unexplained delay caused and conduct of the petitioner, at this stage, this Court is not inclined to enlarge the petitioner, namely, Baleshwar Singh, on bail. Hence, the prayer for regular bail is hereby rejected. Simultaneously, petitioner is at liberty to renew 2 his prayer before the trial court itself after hearing on the point of charge, where his prayer shall be considered on its own merit without being prejudiced of instant refusal.
