JUSTICE CHAKRADHARI SHARAN SINGH ORAL ORDER 2 04-07-2012 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned counsel for the State. The petitioners apprehend their arrest in connection with a complaint case no. 1511 of 2007 corresponding to Trial No. 4489 of 2011 for alleged offence under [STATUTE] . which is pending before the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Muzaffarpur. The petitioners are the deed writers. The Complaint Case No. 1511 of 2007 was lodged by Kailash Ram alleging that his brother Ram Ashish Ram fraudulently got the land belonging to Tapsi Ram, another brother of the complainant transferred in the name of his sons in May, 2004; whereas said Tapsi Ram had Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.24804 of 2012 (2) dt.04-07-2012 already transferred the said land in favour of the complainant in February, 2004. The said Tapsi Ram died on 21.01.2005. It seems that on the basis of complaint case filed in the year 2004, the F.I.R. was instituted and the Police had submitted final report treating the case to be of civil dispute. On perusal of the material on record, the dispute between the parties appears to be of civil in nature, therefore, I am inclined to allow the prayer for grant of anticipatory bail to petitioners. Let the petitioners in the event of their arrest / surrender within four weeks from today before the Court below be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount, each to the satisfaction of the J.M., 1st Class, Muzaffarpur in connection with Complaint Case No. 1511 of 2007, subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) of the Cr.
