IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.27479 of 2008 GANGA RAUT Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 20.08.2008 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. Petitioner is an accused for the offence registered under Sections 420, 467, 468, 471/34 of the Indian Penal Code. The allegation against the petitioner is that petitioner alongwith the co-accused who is Mukhiya misappropriated the government money in connection with the different scheme by withdrawing the money, which was for beneficiaries under the Indira Awas Yojna. The FIR was lodged after making the enquiry and during the enquiry it was found that the accused persons including the petitioner withdrew the money fraudulently. It is submitted on behalf of the petitioner that the primary allegation is against the Mukhiya who had deposited the alleged money fraudulently withdrawn by him. Learned Additional P.P. on the other hand, submits that in view of the specific allegation against the accused persons including the petitioner, petitioner is not entitled to anticipatory bail. Considering the nature of allegations 2 attributed against this petitioner with respect to the public money, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, prayer for bail is rejected. If the petitioner on surrender before the court below makes an application for bail, the same will be considered on its own merits without being prejudiced by the order of this court.
