IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.6254 of 2008 HARSHAD NAND LAL BHUTTA Versus THE UNION OF INDIA ----------- 3 8.5.2008 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner apprehends arrest in a case under Section 420 and other Sections of the Indian Penal Code. The petitioner was one of the Directors of M/s Bodh Gaya Ceramics Ltd having registration no.03-1842 dated 23.6.1983. In the year 1990 the Company collected Rs.49, 49000/- from the public by issuing prospectus. The public had been induced to invest money by false promise. Later on the company siphoned the entire money of the public, misappropriated and disappeared. Ultimately, the Registrar of the company has filed this case against the Directors and others. Investigation is still pending. Having regard to the facts and circumstances as well as nature of accusation, I am not inclined to release this petitioner on anticipatory bail. Accordingly, the same is hereby rejected. B.Jha (Ghanshyam Prasad)
