IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.43101 of 2009 KANTI DEVI,w/o Ram Ayodhya Prasad, R/O village-Badlu Tola,P.S.-Chapra(M), Distt.- Saran at Chapra. Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 02/ 17-02-2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. Disbelieving the accusation for the offence under the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act petitioner’s sons have been allowed anticipatory bail by the Sessions Judge itself but for withdrawal of the money matter was enquired by the concerned department and Panchayat Secretary was found liable for the same and he (Panchayat Secretary), according to the learned counsel for the petitioner, after taking money from the informant deposited the same through valid Challan as money was paid to a lady on identification of the informant only but in any case for the allegations petitioner’s arrest never can be justified. I agree with the submission. Accordingly, this petition for anticipatory bail is allowed. In case of arrest or surrender within one month from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order in Hajipur SC/ST P.S.Case No.102 of 2008, the above named petitioner shall be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.10,000/-(rupees ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Saran at Chapra, subject to the conditions as laid down under sub-section (2) of Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure.
