IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.25150 of 2008 DR.RAM PUKAR KUMAR, son of Bachchan Singh, village Ranibigaha, P.S. Tekari, District Gaya, at present Clinic, Bela More, P.S. Govindpur, District Nawada Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 06/ 31.3.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. Petitioner is apprehending his arrest in connection with a case registered for the offence under Sections 376, 498A, 120B/34 of the Indian Penal Code. He is named in the First Information Report as the doctor, who assisted the main accused, Gopal Sharan Mahto and his wife Sonmanti Devi in getting rid of the illicit child. In the circumstances, I am not inclined to admit the petitioner to the privilege of bail in the event of arrest. This application is, accordingly, rejected. He is, however, directed to surrender in the court below and apply for regular bail, which should be considered in accordance with law without being prejudiced by the fact that this Court has not chosen to admit him to the privilege of bail in the event of arrest and while considering the prayer for bail, the court below shall take into account that he is a registered medical practitioner.
