IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.17552 of 2011 BAIJNATH PASWAN, SON OF LATE MAHESH RAM, HALKA KARMCHARI, NOKHA, ANCHAL, P.S. AKORHI GOLA, DISTRICT-ROHTAS. …..PETITIONER. Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ……OPPOSITE PARTY. ----------- 02. 15.06.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned counsel for the State. Petitioner is an accused for offences punishable under Sections 467, 468, 471, 120(B), 166 and 167 of the Indian Penal Code. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that there is a land dispute between the informant and other private co- accused and the instant case has been lodged only due to mutation of the private co-accused persons. He further submits that he is merely a Halka Karmchari and when the Circle Officer had mutated the name of the private co-accused persons it was the duty of the petitioner as Halka Karmchari to issue notices and grant receipts in their favour and he did exactly the same. He further avers that there was no illegality and the informant had option to challenge the mutation of the private co-accused persons before the higher authority or before the civil court, but it transpires that the informant had adopted this procedure which cannot decide the civil dispute between the parties, rather it will act merely as coercion upon the co-accused persons. Learned counsel for the petitioner further submits that the private co-accused persons have already been enlarged 2 on bail on the order of this court dated 27.04.2010 passed in Cr. Misc. No. 10207 of 2010. Considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances, this petition for anticipatory bail is allowed. In the event of arrest or surrender of the petitioner, namely, Baij Nath Paswan within fifteen days from the date of receipt of a copy of this order in the court below, he shall be admitted to bail on executing bail bonds of Rs. 10,000.00 (ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of Chief Judicial Magistrate, Rohtas at Sasaram in connection with Complaint Case No. 195 of 2009 subject to the conditions as laid down under section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure.
