Learned APP for the State vehemently opposes the prayer for bail. 6. In this background, this Court is not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, the prayer for bail of the petitioner in connection with the aforementioned case, pending before the learned CJM, East Champaran at Motihari is hereby rejected. 7. However, if the petitioner surrenders before the Trial Court within six weeks from today, the Trial Court is directed to pass an order on his surrender-cum-bail application on the same day, without being prejudiced by the fact that the petitioner’s anticipatory bail has been rejected by this Court.
