JUSTICE DINESH KUMAR SINGH ORAL ORDER 2 13-04-2012 Petitioner is apprehending his arrest in a case registered for the offences punishable under [STATUTE] . Accusation is of lifting the coal from the coilery on the forged document and instead of supplying to the licensee, it used to be sold in the black market. Admittedly petitioner was not named in the F.I.R. One Jitendra Yadav, owner of one of the trucks named the petitioner as a person who used to assist Jitendra Yadav in preparing forged documents. It appears that Jitendra Yadav has been granted regular bail by this Court vide Cr. Misc. No. 10341 of 2012.
