IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.43939 of 2008 R.B.SARDAR @ RAM BANIHAR SARDAR, son of Bechan Sardar, resident of Village Hasua, P.S. Pattour, District Darbhanga ------Petitioner Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR THROUGH THE CENTRAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION---Opp. Party ----------- 3. 1.12.2008 Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the State. The petitioners are apprehending their arrest in connection with Special Case No.19/06 arising out of R.C.No.22(A)/2006 for the offences under sections 120B, 420, 467, 468 and 471 of the Indian Penal Code and sections 7, 11 and 13(2) read with sections 13(1)(a) and 13(1)(d) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988. It is submitted on behalf of the petitioner that the petitioner at the material time was officiating as Branch Manager, UCO Bank, Sahu Parbatta Branch on the direction of the higher authority vide order dated 24.1.2005, as contained in Annexure 2, and as such, the petitioner is innocent and has committed no offence in disbursement of loan. The learned Standing Counsel appearing for the Central Bureau of 2 Investigation opposes the prayer for bail and submits that during the investigation, material has come to show that the petitioner had sanctioned several loans out of which many of them were found to be fictitious. The purpose of the loan was frustrated since no installation of tube wells was found during the investigation and the authority having found materials against the petitioner, chargesheet had been submitted. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. The application is, accordingly, dismissed. PNM (Shailesh Kumar Sinha, J.)
