According to allegations, the officials of Bihar State Food Corporation, Gaya in connivance with different officials of Block Supply Officers of different places in furtherance of their common intention conspired with the shop keepers of Public Distribution System shops and others and were benefited by forging and manipulating the documents which were issued for more than the original and actual amount of draft. The committed loss to the Bihar State Food Corporation was Rs. 31.07,617/-. The prayer for bail of two of the co-accused namely, Rajdeo Singh and Ashok Kumar Singh have been rejected by a Bench of this Court Vide Cr.Misc.Nos.36706 of 2008 and 36896 of 2008 respectively on 1.10.2008. Thereafter, considering this order, the prayer for bail of other two co-accused namely, Hari Charan Mishra and Dinesh Prasdd Singh have been granted by another Bench of this Court Vide Cr.Misc.Nos.34646 of 2008 and 36243 of 2008 respectively on 20.10.2008. The main thrust of the argument of the learned counsel for the petitioners is that the allegation against these petitioners are more or less similar to that of co-accused Hari Chand Mishra and Dinesh Prasad Singh who have been granted bail and not similar to co-accused Rajdeo Singh whose prayer for bail has been rejected. I have perused the first information report. The first information report is an elaborate document which deals modus operandi of the accused persons and according to allegation, it was co-accused Rajdeo Singh who was instrumental in committing such offences. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, let the above named three petitioners be released on bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs.10,000/-(ten thousand) each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of Special Judge, Vigilance I, Patna in Special Case No. 27 of 2008 arising out of Vigilance P.S.Case No. 39 of 2008.
