IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.19987 of 2010 SURENDRA PRASAD GUPTA, S/o Late Thagai Gupta. Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 02. 14.06.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner seeks anticipatory bail in a case instituted for the offences under Sections 420 and 406 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 138 of N.I. Act. The petitioner’s daughter was married to one Rajesh Gupta in which the present complainant had acted as a mediator. Due to some marital discord the daughter of the petitioner filed a case against her in- laws in which even the complainant was mentioned as accused. Subsequently the present case was filed stating therein that the petitioner had given a cheque of Rs. 15,000/- in the name of the complainant which had bounced. The petitioner submits that there is no denying that he had given the cheque to the complainant but that was only on the assurance that his daughter would be kept well by her in-laws but since the same was not done he obviously was not willing to pay the said amount to the complainant. 2 In view of such, in the event of surrender of the petitioner, named above, within four weeks from today in connection with Complaint Case No. 363C of 2010 (Tr. No. 1895 of 2010), he shall be released on anticipatory bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 5,000/- (Five Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of Sri Pankaj Chouhan, Judicial Magistrate, 1st Class, West Champaran at Bagaha (or his successor) subject to conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) Cr.P.C. and (i) That one of the bailors will be a close relative of the petitioner who will give an affidavit giving genealogy as to how he is related with the petitioner. The bailor will also undertake to inform the Court if there is any change in the address of the petitioner. (ii) That the petitioner will be well represented on each date and if he fails to do so on two consecutive dates, his bail will be liable to be cancelled. Vikash/- (Anjana Prakash, J.)
