IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.17250 of 2009 ARBIND KUMAR YADAV Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 02/ 21.05.2009 None appears to press the present petition for anticipatory bail. I have heard Sri Dasrath Mehta, learned Additional Public Prosecutor and perused the record. The petitioner has been summoned on the basis of a complaint petition for offences under Sections 420, 323, 504/34 of the IPC. The defence as indicated by the order of the court below is that he was implicated falsely on account of his rival the earlier Mukhia of the Panchayat. The petitioner is the Mukhia of the Panchayat. I direct the petitioner to surrender in the court below and the court below could consult Section 88 of the Cr.P.C. which requires release of a person, who appears in response to a summon or warrant issued by the court for the appearance on execution of a bond in the case. The court below could appreciate every provision has some purpose and considering that it - 2 - could be the first appearance of the petitioner on complaint, that provision may be utilized for granting bail to the petitioner. This petition is, accordingly, disposed of. DKS/ (Dharnidhar Jha, J.)
