IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.13061 of 2011 NAND KISHORE SINGH Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 02 09.05.2011 Heard learned counsels for the petitioner and the State. Petitioner being Panchayat Secretary is apprehending his arrest in a case registered under Sections 467, 468, 471, 420, 406 and 409 of the Indian Penal Code. The accusation is of misappropriating the money by putting forged thumb impression of the informant under the NAREGA Scheme in 2006 to 2008. It is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner that for accusation of withdrawing Rs. 1,000/- the case has been lodged after about four years. It appears that Mukhiya of the Gram Panchayat has been granted regular bail by the learned court below. I see no reason for the learned court below not to give the same privilege to the petitioner. Let the learned court below consider to pass an appropriate order with regard to the regular bail application of the petitioner and dispose off preferably on the same day, if the petitioner surrenders within a period of four weeks and prays for regular bail. With the above observations, this application is disposed off in connection with Jehanabad P.S. Case No. 176 of 2010 pending in the Court of the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Jehanabad. Let this order be transmitted to the learned court below through FAX at the cost of petitioner. Safik ( Dinesh Kumar Singh, J.)
