IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.17476 of 2009 SATYENDRA KUMAR SON OF LATE RAM BACHAN SINGH RESIDENT OF KHORATHA,P.S.BIKRAM,DISTRICT PATNA Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2/ 16.7.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel appearing for the Vigilance. The petitioner seeks bail in Special Case No. 15 of 2009 (Vigilance P.S.Case No. 21 of 2009) which has been registered for offences under Sections 7/13 (2) read with 13(1)(d) of the Prevention of Corruption Act. One Ravi Kumar wanted to get his name mutated in place of his deceased father. For that purpose, he approached the Halka Karamchari namely, the petitioner who demanded Rs.1200/- from him. Thereafter on the petition of Ravi Kumar, Vigilace deputed a verifier for verification who submitted the report after finding the allegation to be true. Accordingly, a trapping team was organized who prepared pre-trap memorandum and thereafter the petitioner was arrested with bribe money of Rs.1000/-. His hands were washed and the colour of water changed into pink. A search-cum-seizure list was prepared and a copy of which was given to the petitioner. Submission of the learned counsel for the petitioner is that the genesis of the occurrence was not available on the record on the date of raid because the order of mutation was passed on 19.12.2008, so there was no occasion for the petitioner to demand any money. The petitioner has been made victim of conspiracy. 2 The fact remains that the petitioner was arrested while he was accepting bribe money and the said currency notes were found to be the same which were mentioned in pre-trap memorandum. Considering all these, presently I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, his prayer for bail is rejected. Tahir/- ( Shyam Kishore Sharma, J.)
