IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Criminal Miscellaneous No.35842 of 2011 Jagdish Mishra, S/O-Late Daro Mishra Versus The State Of Bihar Through The ---------------------------------- 03 12.12.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned senior counsel appearing for Vigilance. Petitioner is in jail custody since 28.07.2011 in a case registered under Sections 7/13 (2) read with Section 13 (1) (d) of Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988. Allegedly, petitioner was caught red handed taking rupees thirty five thousand as bribe. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that, as a matter of fact, prior to institution of the present case, the petitioner had already submitted his report in respect of the lands of the allegation maker and later on, one Karamchari of Halka no. 4 also submitted his report attaching the Photostat copy of report of the petitioner and after that Circle Officer passed the order in mutation case but I am not at all convinced with his submission because the Circle Officer has noted down in the impugned order that only Photostat copy of report of petitioner was put up before him in course of passing the order and furthermore, Para-62 of the case diary reveals that the relevant karamchari has clearly stated this fact that someone had made entry in the relevant register. It is further contended on behalf of the petitioner that Deputy Superintendent of Police as well as watcher of the case who took active part in the present case have already been sent in judicial custody in connection 2 with another case. So, the conduct of aforesaid officials reveals the false implication of the petitioner in the alleged crime with a view to extract money from him. Considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances as well as submissions of the parties, I am not inclined to release the petitioner on bail. Accordingly, his prayer for bail in connection with Vigilance Special Case No. 38 of 2011 arising out of Vigilance P.S. Case No. 47 of 2011 pending in the court of Special Judge, Vigilance (Trap) Patna is, hereby, rejected, at least, at this stage. However, petitioner may renew his prayer for bail after six months from today. SHAHZAD ( Hemant Kumar Srivastava, J.)
