IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.26075 of 2008 PARMESHWAR CHAUDHARY Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 31.7.2008 Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner is apprehending his arrest in connection with Khizersarai P.S. Case No.119/07 for the alleged offences registered under sections 409, 420, 467, 468 and 471 of the Indian Penal Code. It is submitted on behalf of the petitioner that on perusal of the allegations made in the First Information Report, it would appear that the petitioner was Postmaster of Naudiha Branch Post Office. It is further submitted that the allegation is against the son of the petitioner, who by forging the signatures of the recipients of the money orders encashed those money orders in his favour at the post office where the petitioner was posted. Further submission is that the petitioner has deposited the alleged forged amount to the tune of Rs.1,60,000/-. Considering the submissions, as 2 noticed above, I am not inclined to grant the privilege of anticipatory bail to the petitioner Parmeshwar Choudahry. His prayer for anticipatory bail is, accordingly, rejected. It is, however, observed that if the petitioner surrenders in the court below and in case an application for regular bail is moved on his behalf, the same would be considered on its own merits without being prejudiced by the present order.
