Versus STATE OF BIHAR . ----------- 2 22-02-2010 Heard counsel for the petitioners and counsel for the State. The offence alleged against the petitioners under sections 420, 467, 468 and 471 of the Indian Penal Code on the ground that they had produced forged marks sheet for obtaining employment on the post of teacher, is sought to be defended by learned counsel for the petitioners on the ground that the petitioners were never given an opportunity to establish that the marks sheet which was being claimed as forged marks sheet was actually filed by them at the time of their appointment. In the opinion of this Court such argument seems to be one of desperation. The moment the petitioners accept that they had sought appointment on the post of teacher and they had produced marks sheet which were ultimately found to be forged they cannot be allowed to take a plea that such forgery in their 2 mark sheet was committed by some one else. Apparently, this is not a false case and therefore petitioners are not entitled for anticipatory bail and accordingly their such prayer for anticipatory bail is hereby rejected with an observation that anything said in this order however will not come in their way while considering their prayer for regular bail.
