IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.20332 of 2008 SHEO DAYAL VERMA @ SHIVE DAYAL VERMA Versus STATE OF BIHAR THRU. VIG. ----------- 3 11.7.2008 Heard the parties. The petitioner is an accused in a case under sections 7/13(2) read with section 13(1)(d) of the Prevention of Corruption Act. The allegation is that the petitioner who is the Principal of Rajkiya Kameshwar Singh Ayurvedic Hospital, Darbhanga took a bribe of Rs.5900/- from one Dineshwar Pd. Singh who happens to be a 4th grade employee in the said Hospital. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that apparently the said employee had grievance against the petitioner as he was evicted from the college premises on that ground that he had encroached on the college land. On the other hand, Dineshwar Pd. Singh has alleged that the petitioner was demanding an additional amount of Rs.8000/- for granting promotion to the 4th grade employees. Accordingly a trap was set up and it is said that the petitioner was found with Rs.5900/- in his right hand. Thereafter, the officers of the Vigilance Department seized the said money. Learned counsel submits that the petitioner is in custody for five months and considering the back ground and the cause of grievance of the informant, it appears that he had mala fide intention in giving the said money to the petitioner. The petitioner being a Government servant is not likely to abscond and misuse the privilege of bail. 2 In the circumstances the petitioner Sheo Dayal Verma @ Shive Dayal Verma is directed to be released on bail in Special Case No. 07/2008, arising out of Vigilance Case No. 13/2008, on furnishing bail bond of rupees ten thousand with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the Special Judge (Vigilance), Muzaffarpur. haque (Sheema Ali Khan, J.)
