IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.7412 of 2008 MD.ALI SHAIKH Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 1.5.2008 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned A.P.P for the State. The petitioner prays for anticipatory bail in a case under Sections 341, 323 and 504 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 7 of the Essential Commodities Act. The allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner being a P.D.S. Dealer did not supply the kerosene oil to the informant and sold it in the open market. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that a compromise petition (Annexure-4) has already been filed in the court below and thus the case, even if not compoundable, is unlikely to result in conviction of the petitioner. It is submitted that the complaint itself has been filed for ulterior motive, but ultimately the complainant has realized his mistake and entered into a compromise. On a consideration of the facts and circumstances of the case, it is directed that the petitioner, Md. Ali Shaikh, in the event of his arrest or surrender in the court below within a period of four weeks from today shall be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Madhubani in connection with Bisfi P.S. Case No. 158 of 2007 2 (G.R. No.2349 of 2007), subject to the condition as laid down under Section 438 (2) Cr.P.C. VPS (Ramesh kumar Datta,J.)
