Patna High Court CR. APP (SJ) No.1227 of 2025(4) dt.23-04-2026
2/2
3. At the outset, learned counsel for the respondent no.
2 submitted that appellants have been declared absconder and
process of Section 82 of the Cr.P.C. has been initiated against
them to ensure their appearance in the Court and thereafter
charge-sheet was submitted, as such appellants are not entitled
to the relief of anticipatory bail (Lavesh v. State (NCT of Delhi)
(2012) 8 SCC 730, State of MP v. Pradeep Sharma (2014) 2
SCC 17, Prem Shankar Prasad v. State of Bihar 2021 SCC
OnLine SC 955).
4. Considering the aforesaid development, appeal for
pre-arrest bail of appellants is dismissed as not maintainable.
