IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.41201 of 2008 PAPPU SINGH, S/o Babua Lal Singh, R/o Village – Simaria, P.S. Barauni, Distt. – Begusarai. Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 03.12.2008. Heard. Petitioner is said to have no criminal antecedent. He is allegedly a private contractor at Patna. The statement has been made to impress the Court that the petitioner is a respectable person. Such a statement without something more is not enough to impress the Court about the respectability of the person accused. In the instant case, a death has taken place. The death occurred in 2003. The name of the petitioner has come on record long long time back. The reason for including the name of the petitioner is the complaint filed by the father of the petitioner against certain police personnel of having murdered the brother of the petitioner. The petitioner is absconding for last five years. A respectable person would not do so. Taking these factors into account, the application of - 2 - the petitioner for grant of anticipatory bail is rejected. dk ( Barin Ghosh, J. )
