IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.30375 of 2008 SHIV NANDAN RAM Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3. 07.11.2008 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. The petitioner apprehends arrest in a Police case under Sections 406, 409, 420 of the Penal Code. The petitioner was a Nazir in question. The allegation based on a preliminary enquiry of a defalcation of approximately Rs. 8,35,000 and odd. That part of the amount may have been deducted from his salary before he absconded and that he was still ready to have the balance deducted from his salary does not persuade this Court to grant him the privilege of anticipatory bail as the allegations do not relate to a private dispute but to embezzlement of Government fund. The application is rejected. The issue of deductions already made and willingness of further deductions are matters to be appropriately considered in any application for regular bail without being prejudiced by the present order of rejection.
