IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.6888 of 2011 SANJAY KUMAR Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 31.03.2011. Heard learned senior counsel for the petitioner and learned A.P.P. for the State. The petitioner is apprehending his arrest in a case registered under Section 408 of the Indian Penal Code. It is alleged against the petitioner being District Welfare Officer to have provided 4509.75 quintals of rice for distribution to the public but it is alleged that the petitioner distributed only 3723.50 and remaining rice were not being handed over to his successor. It appears that the petitioner was transferred from the place in question on 30.07.2004 when the F.I.R. was sought to be lodged on 23.08.2006. It appears from the impugned order that the supervising officer found the case to be mistake of fact but subsequently the S. P. directed for arrest of the petitioner Considering the fact that rice was 2 for Scheme No. 2003-04 for which F.I.R. was sought to be registered in 2006 and it appears that investigation is still pending, let the petitioner, above named, be released on bail in the event of arrest or surrender before the learned court below within a period of twelve weeks from today in connection with Jalalpur P.S. Case No. 63 of 2006 on furnishing bail bond of Rs.10,000/- (Ten Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the learned C.J.M. Chapra, subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure. U. K. ( Dinesh Kumar Singh, J)
