Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 03/ 02-04-2010 Heard Mr. Ram Chandra Singh, learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and Mrs. Anuradha Singh, learned Additional Public Prosecutor appearing for the State. Petitioner apprehends his arrest in connection with Behea P.S.Case No.219 of 2006 dated 09-11-2006, registered under various sections of the Penal Code including under Section 379 of the Penal Code as also under different sections of the Arms Act. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that according to the prosecution case also, hardly a case under Section 341 and 323 of the Penal Code is made out against the petitioner and the petitioner is a Government employee and, therefore, he may be extended the privilege of anticipatory bail. Learned counsel for the State has opposed the prayer for anticipatory bail and has pointed out that this case was instituted in the year 2006 and till date he has been absconding in the present case. It has also been pointed out that, according to the prosecution case, allegation of assault is mainly against the petitioner and he is alleged to have assaulted by the butt end of his gun. Informant was not only brutally assaulted by this petitioner; rather he resorted to firing also. In that view of the matter, this application for anticipatory 2 bail is dismissed. He must surrender in the court below within a period of four weeks from today and seek regular bail. If such a prayer is made, the same may be considered on its own merit without being prejudiced by this order. Learned court below may take into consideration all the pleas, which may be raised on behalf of the petitioner there for the purpose of grant of bail including the fact that some other co-accused persons have been granted regular bail as also anticipatory bail.
