IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.9022 of 2010 1. MANAN DUBEY 2. BINAY KUMAR DUBEY @ MANTU DUBEY Versus STATE OF BIHAR . ----------- 2 15.03.2010 Petitioner no. 1 is the husband of the Mukhiya of the Gram Panchayat. Petitioner no. 2 is the devar of the Mukhiya. Informant is Panchayat Sewak of the said Panchayat. Allegation is that while the informant was returning home after withdrawing a sum of Rs. One lakh and odd for distribution of scholarship amounts, the petitioners arrived at the scene and snatched the bag containing the said amount as also the register and diary meant for the purpose of distribution and registration. Learned counsel submits that the present accusation is totally false. Referring to annexure-2, it is contended that the Mukhiya of the Panchayat had already requested the Block Development Officer for removal of the informant from the post as he was involved in misappropriation of government money. It is next contended that in fact the money was distributed amongst the eligible/needy/beneficiaries. Learned A.P.P. opposed the prayer and submitted that the allegations against the petitioners are specific and direct. He also submits that subsequently these two petitioners involved themselves in commission of yet another offence/crime against the present informant for which a separate case has been instituted. 2 Having considered the submissions and after going through the materials on record, this court is not satisfied that a case for anticipatory bail is made out. The prayer is, accordingly, refused. pkj ( Kishore K. Mandal, J. )
