2024, disclosing offences under Sections 147/148/341/323/353/342/504/34 of the Indian Penal Code. 3. The prosecution case, as per the First Information Report lodged by the Station House Officer, Dobhi Police Station, is that on 01. 01. 2024, the informant received information that some persons, about 50 in number, were assembled on N. H. 2 and were protesting the new law on motor accident and were also burning tyres on N. H. 2. When the informant requested them to remove the jam Patna High Court CR. MISC. No. 81801 of 2024(2) dt. 16-12-2024 2/3 from N. H. 2, they started abusing the police and also scuffle took place between them and they also threatened the police not to remove the jam from the N. H. 2. 4. Learned Counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has not committed any offence in the manner alleged and has falsely been implicated in the present case due to ulterior motive. The allegation against the petitioner is general and omnibus in nature.
He further submits that the name of the petitioner transpires in this case on the basis of disclosure of his name by the local chowkidar. 5. Having regard to the submissions made on behalf of the parties and taking into consideration the nature of allegation and the fact that the accused persons abused the police and also prevented them from discharging their official duties, which undermines the safety and security of law enforcement agency, incident of mob violence against law enforcement agency has become order of the day now in the State which can be very dangerous, often escalating tensions and compromising public safety, accordingly, I am not inclined to grant the petitioner privilege of anticipatory bail. Patna High Court CR. MISC. No. 81801 of 2024(2) dt. 16-12-2024 3/3 6. This application is, accordingly, dismissed. 7.
However, if the petitioner surrenders before the concerned Court and seeks regular bail, the same may be considered by the concerned Court on its own merit, without being prejudiced by the rejection of the present anticipatory bail application of the petitioner by this Court.
