IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.12808 of 2008 GUNJESHWAR KUMAR VERMA Versus STATE OF BIHAR THRU.ADG(VIGI.) ----------- 5 4.8.2008 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner apprehends arrest in a case under Section 420 and other Sections of the Indian Penal Code besides Section 5(2) read with Section 5(1)©(D) of Prevention of Corruption Act and Section 13(2) read with Section13(1)©(D) of Prevention of Corruption act,1988. This petitioner is named in the first information report. At the relevant time he was Block Development Officer. The matter relates to illegal and fraudulent withdrawal of Rs.11, 78,550/- in the name of old aged pension. The entire amount was misappropriated by the concerned officer and staff. The case diary and the report of the Superintendent of Police are on the record which would go to show that that there are sufficient materials to sustain allegation prima facie against the petitioner. In view of above, I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Accordingly prayer for anticipatory bail is hereby rejected. The petitioner is directed to surrender before the court below and pray for regular bail. In that event the court below shall consider his prayer on it own merit without being prejudiced by this order. B.Jha (Ghanshyam Prasad) - 2 -
