IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.26191 of 2008 ARUN KUMAR NIRALA Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 31.07.2008 Heard Learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. Petitioner is an accused in Rajapakar P.S. Case No. 70 of 2007 for the offence registered under Sections 420 and 406 of the Indian Penal Code. The allegation is to the effect that the petitioner was entrusted with a sum of Rs. 50, 000/- for handing to the family member of the complainant since the complainant and the petitioner are resident of the same district and both works at Kolkata. He further submits that petitioner admitted to have received Rs. 30,000/- only which was handed over to him. The petitioner, therefore, had given two cheques to the complainant with the instruction that the cheques should not be presented for payment before expiry of two months. The complainant however, presented the same before the above period and as such both the cheques bounced. It is further submitted that even today he is ready to make payment which he has not made. Considering the submissions made above and the allegations made in the FIR, I am not inclined to grant the anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, prayer for bail is rejected. It is however, made clear that on surrender before the court below if he makes an application for bail, the same will be considered on its own merits without being prejudiced by the present order.
