IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.6090 of 2009 1. Chandeshwar Das (Chairman) s/o Sokhi Das 2. Bachchu Das (Treasurer) @ Bachu Das, s/o Jiwadhan Das, both are resident of village- Samarpura, P.S. Dariyapur, District-Saran Versus State Of Bihar ----------- 2. 15.05.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned Additional P.P. for the State. The petitioners who are the Chairman and the Treasurer of the Working Committee, Samarpura, have been charged for misappropriating the government money given to them for construction of a school building under Scheme No.2/1997-98 but on enquiry the work was found not as per the prescribed standard and accordingly it is alleged that the petitioners have defalcated the government money. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the petitioners are not professional contractors rather they are part of a Committee of 40 persons and they have done the work in accordance with the required specification but have been falsely implicated in this case. It is submitted that the matter is of the year 1997-98. On a consideration of the facts and circumstances of the case, this Court does not find it a fit case for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioners. Their prayer is accordingly rejected. However, if the petitioners surrender and pray for bail in the court below then their prayer should be considered without being prejudiced by the rejection of their prayer for anticipatory bail.
