IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.9666 of 2009 MANOJ PRASAD SINGH Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 02/ 08.05.2009 Heard learned counsel for the parties. This petition for bail has been filed by the petitioner, who is an accused for offences punishable under sections 120(B), 341, 323, 467, 471, 379, 468, 418, 420 and 504 of the Penal Code. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation is that a Wasiyatnama said to have been executed by Lalpari Devi, who had died much earlier in the year 1989, was fabricated with a forged death certificate and when the complainant learnt about the said forged death certificate, he informed the Executive Officer and also wrote a letter to the District Statistical Officer mentioning therein about the correct date of death of said Lalpari Devi, whereafter the Registrar directed the Additional Registrar to take proper action in that regard. He further submits that the entire allegation is false and frivolous and the Wasiyatnama is not a forged document, rather it was executed by Lalpari Devi and the witnesses to the Wasiyatnama were the father and brother of the complainant himself and hence merely with a view to grab the property, the instant complaint case has been lodged. From the perusal of the materials on record, it appears that the nature of the case is clearly civil and the matter in dispute can be settled only in a civil litigation and not by filing such a complaint. Considering the facts and circumstances of this case as 2 well as the arguments of the parties, this petition for bail is allowed. Accordingly, let the sole petitioner, namely, Manoj Prasad Singh be enlarged on bail on executing bail bond of Rs.10,000.00( Rupees ten thousand only ) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Jamui in connection with Complaint Case No. 242-C/2006.
