IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.19134 of 2011 Yognath Mandal @Jognath Mandal Versus The State Of Bihar ----------- 02/ 30.06.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned Addl. P.P. for the State. Petitioner is named in a case instituted under sections 420 and 409 of the IPC. It would appear from perusal of the first information report that an enquiry was conducted by the Sub divisional Officer, Jhanjharpur in respect of several schemes of Gram Panchayat and show cause notice was issued to the petitioner for not producing relevant documents at the time of above stated enquiry but the petitioner did not reply to the aforesaid show cause. It is further alleged that the petitioner defalcated government money which had been given to the concerned Panchyat for execution of several schemes of the government. The contention of the learned counsel for the petitioner is that the petitioner has become the prey of political rivalry and, as a matter of fact, one Shashikant Jha tried to implicate the petitioner by filing writ petition before this court and when he could not succeed, he managed executive official and got instituted false case. It is further contended by him that the petitioner is being prosecuted for non- production of measurement book which was in possession of the concerned engineer and not in possession of the petitioner. No doubt, petitioner was Mukhiya of the concerned Grampanchyat and there is some sort of allegation against him but 2 taking into consideration the above stated facts and circumstances as well as period of detention of the petitioner in jail custody, let the petitioner, Yognath Mandal @ Jognath Mandal, be released on bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs 10,000/- with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the Addl.
