IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.1354 of 2011 SUDHIR KUMAR DAS Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 14.02.2011. Heard learned counsels for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner is apprehending his arrest in a case registered under Section 376 of the I.P.C. It is alleged against the petitioner being the Branch Manager of the Bank to have committed the offence alleged when the informant went to get her loan application processed. From the impugned order, it appears that none of the witnesses supported the accusation and the malafide action of the Investigating Officer is apparent when he failed to take subsequent statement of informant till disposal of the bail application of the petitioner. Let the learned court below ask a report with regard to conduct of the Investigating Officer from the concerned Superintendent of Police. Since the supplementary affidavit has - 2 - been filed to the effect that the informant has retracted from her initial version and has stated that the case was lodged at the behest of one Mantoo Yadav against whom the petitioner lodged the case earlier, 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 Sono P.S. Case No. 70 of 2010 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., Jamui, subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure.
