No.2247 of 2010 SUBIDA KUMARI, W/o Niranjan Kumar @ Anil KUmar Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3/ 19.03.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner apprehends her arrest in a case registered for the offence under Sections 420, 467, 468 and 471 of the Indian Penal Code. The informant is the Headmaster of Middle School, Madanpur, whereas the petitioner is inchrge Headmaster of the Primary School, Madanpur, which is in the same premises. It is alleged that on the request of the petitioner informant gave a cheque of Rs. 5,000/- to petitioner for the purpose of mid-day meal. It is alleged that after two months, petitioner attempted to withdraw the check of Rs.3,50,000/- against which the cheque for Rs. 5,000/- has been given to her, photo copy of cheque is annexed as Annexure-2 to this application. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the cheque is written both in words and figures. He submits that rupees three lakhs fifty thousand has been clearly written on the cheque. He states that there is no over writing and as such the allegation that cheque worth Rs. 5,000/- has been converted into Rs.3,50,000/- is false. Learned counsel further submits that no money has been withdrawn from the bank. Counsel for the State submits that the petitioner admitted her guilt in the case diary. - 2 - Having regard to the facts of the case, I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. However, petitioner shall surrender before the court below (Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Hilsa, Nalanda in connection with Ekangarsarai P.S. case no. 113 of 2009) and seek regular bail, which would be disposed of on its own merit without prejudice, preferably on the same day, taking into consideration that no money in fact was withdrawn from the Bank and there does not seem any over writing in words on cheque.
