Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- For the Petitioners :Mr.Sanjeev Kumar, Advocate For the State :Mr.D.Mehta,Addl.P.P. ----------- 02/ 12-04-2010 Heard the parties. Petitioners apprehend their arrest in connection with Complaint Case No.422/2005, in which cognizance has been taken under Section 420 of the Indian Penal Code. According to prosecution case, mother of the complainant was granted Parwana in the year 1977-78 under the provisions of Bihar Land Reforms (Fixation of Ceiling Area and Acquisition of Surplus Land) Act, 1961 and after death of his mother the complainant came in possession over the same. On 20- 07-2005 petitioners forcibly took the complainant on a Motor cycle and got the aforesaid land transferred by getting a deed prepared in the Registry office. The complainant is a poor person belongs to scheduled caste. 2 Learned counsel for the State has strongly opposed the prayer for anticipatory bail and submits that offence under Section 420 of the Penal Code is clearly made out against the petitioners. He further submits that, in fact, an offence under Section 3(1)(iv) of the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989 is also applicable in the present case, but unfortunately the prosecution for the said offence was not started against the petitioners. Be that as it may, in the facts and circumstances of the case, this Court is not inclined to accede to the prayer made on behalf of the petitioners for grant of anticipatory bail. Accordingly, it is rejected. Petitioners must surrender in the court below within a period of four weeks from today and, if so advised, seek regular bail. If such a petition is filed, the same may be considered and disposed of on its own merit without being prejudiced by the present order. AH/ ( Birendra Prasad Verma, J.)
