IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.2410 of 2009 JAGDISH PRASAD YADAV, Son of late Baldeo Prasad Yadav, Resident of village – Tema Bhela, P.S. – Udakishanganj, District – Madhepura,Then Headmaster of Girls Middle School Babhangama, P.S. – Behariganj, District – Madhepura. ………. Petitioner. Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ……… Opp. Party. ----------- 03/ 27.03.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner, State and the informant. Petitioner, who superannuated as Headmaster of the School on 31.7.2007, is apprehending his arrest in connection with a complaint case registered for the offence under Section 420 of the Penal Code and 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act on the allegation that the cheque, which he issued as the Headmaster of the School for payment of the price of the building materials purchased for the School, has bounced. It is submitted on behalf of the petitioner that the cheque was issued with condition that the payee should present the same after the funds are available in the Bank. Such submission has been noted for being rejected as on the date of the cheque the bank must have the fund so that the drawee is paid the amount. In the circumstances, I am not inclined to consider the prayer of the petitioner for grant of bail in the event of arrest and this application is, accordingly, dismissed. DKS/ (V.N. Sinha, J.)
