IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.78 of 2009 TARKESHWAR SINGH, son of Late Raghunath Singh, Resident of Mohalla Beli Sarai, P.S. Motihari Town, District East Champaran Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 04/ 30.06.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. Petitioner is apprehending his arrest in connection with a case registered for the offence under Sections 409, 419 and 420 of the Indian Penal Code filed against him by the Circle Officer on the instruction of the District Magistrate as it is said that petitioner used to misuse his position as the employee of the Jila Parishad by accepting money from various persons for allotting them the land of the Jila Parishad. Counsel for the petitioner submits that another employee of the Jila Parishad, Pannalal Sah against whom similar allegation has been made, was allowed the privilege of bail in the event of arrest by another Bench of this Court under orders dated 16.10.2008, passed in Cr. Misc. No. 31271 of 2008 and petitioner should also be allowed the same privilege, which has been allowed to Pannalal Sah. I have noted the submission of the learned counsel for the petitioner only for being rejected as the case of the petitioner is different from Pannalal Sah since he is named in the First Information Report with the allegation that he is misusing his position and accepting money from the persons for allotting 2 the land of the Jila Parishad. In the circumstances, I am not inclined to admit the petitioner to the privilege of bail in the event of arrest. This application is, accordingly, dismissed with direction to the petitioner to surrender in the court of Chief Judicial Magistrate, Motihari in connection with Kalyanpur P.S. Case No. 69 of 2000 within four weeks from today and apply for bail, which should be considered in accordance with law. Arjun/ ( V.N. Sinha, J.)
