Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.31300 of 2024(6) dt.10-01-2025 2/2

However, learned A.P.P. for the State vehemently opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail and submits that as per F.I.R. itself, this petitioner alongwith others pelted stones, fired upon police party, as a result of which, some of the police personnel sustained injury. He further submits that anticipatory bail petitions of two co-accused namely Chandan Kumar and Rajiv Kumar have already been rejected by this Court, vide order dated 19.06.2024 in Cr.Misc. No. 31216/2024 and order dated 04.07.2024 passed in Cr.Misc. No. 36577/2024.

Considering the nature of accusation and the fact that bail petitions of other two co-accused persons have already been rejected by this Court, the prayer for anticipatory bail of petitioner is rejected.
