IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.34963 of 2008 1. RAMESH KUMAR, son of Sarju Gond, resident of Village Chakki Rangidera, P.S. Brahmpur, District Buxar 2. RAMASHISH PRASAD, son of Ghmri Prasad, Resident of Village Chakki Lahna, P.S. Brahmpur, District Buxar ----------Petitioners Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 18.11.2008 Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the State. The petitioners are apprehending their arrest in connection with Dumraon P.S. Case No.152/02 for the offences under sections 420, 465, 468, 471, 473, 475 and 476 of the Indian Penal Code. The allegation against the petitioners is that they have obtained forged caste certificates claiming themselves to be belonging to the Scheduled Tribe category. However, as a matter of fact, on inquiry, it was found that these petitioners did not belong to such category and have produced ingenuine certificates. The learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the petitioners have produced the certificates in question which they have been given after due verification by 2 the office of the informant. The learned APP appearing for the State submits that the petitioners have obtained the caste certificates in question fraudulently as would be appearing from the allegations made to the effect that the certificates were not issued at all by the office of the District Magistrate or the competent officer and it is alleged that those certificates are forged. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case and the nature of allegations, I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners. The application is, accordingly, dismissed.
