Case Facts:
IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Criminal Miscellaneous No.19531 of 2012 ====================================================== Ravindra Singh, Son of Late Ramchandra Singh. .... .... Petitioner/s Versus The State Of Bihar .... .... Opposite Party/s ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE AKHILESH CHANDRA ORAL ORDER 3 16-07-2012 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State, who is armed with carbon/xerox copy of the case diary. The petitioner, who is languishing in custody, seeks bail in a case registered under [STATUTE] , is one of the named accused in this case, instituted on basis of Complaint Case No. – C 2681/2011 with allegation of withdrawing substantial amount by getting forged signature of the complainant-informant in the garb of getting Kishan Credit Card (KCC) in his name. Submission is of false implication and there is nothing to show that the signature of the complainant-informant was ever forged and co- accused, the bank manager has already been exonerated by the police after investigation. It is shocking, how without any scientific examination on alleged forgery in signature, final form has been submitted, but taking into consideration, absence of substantive material against the petitioner, he is directed to be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (Rs. Ten Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, East Champaran, in connection with Pipra P.S. Case No. 309/2011, subject to condition to remain physically present Patna High Court Cr.Misc.
