IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.40929 of 2009 1. VIDYANAND MANDAL, SON OF GHUGHLI MANDAL 2. FULCHAND MANDAL, SON OF GHUGHLI MANDAL 3. PARMOD MANDAL, SON OF VIDYANAND MANDAL ALL ARE RESIDENTS OF VILLAGE PERMANANDPUR, P.S. RANIGANJ, DISTRICT ARARIA. ------ PETITIONERS Versus STATE OF BIHAR----- OPPOSITE PARTY ----------- 2 8.3.2010 Heard learned Counsel for the petitioner and the A.P.P. appearing on behalf of the State. Petitioner is apprehending his arrest in a case under Sections 341, 342, 323, 307 and 379/34 of the Indian Penal Code, Section 27 of the Arms Act and 3(1)(x) of the S.C and S.T. Act. Petitioner no. 1 is a school teacher and he had instituted a case against the informant and other just five days prior to the present case. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that as far as the allegation of the S.C. and S.T. Act are concerned, there is no specific allegation and the offences are not attracted as it does not even disclose as to which class the informant belongs to. Considering the allegations, I find that no offence under Section 3(1)(x) of the S.C. and S.T. Act is made out against the petitioner and the allegation of snatching money appears to ornamental and has been introduced as a reaction to the earlier case filed by the petitioners. Be that as it may, petitioners namely Vidyanand Mandal, Fulchand Mandal and Parmod Mandal are directed to be released on anticipatory bail in the event of their arrest or surrender within a period of six weeks in connection with Forbesganj (Simraha) P.S. Case No. 229 of 2009 on furnishing bail bonds of rupees ten thousand each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Araria subject to the conditions laid down under Section 438(2) of the Cr.P.C.
