IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.4544 of 2009 NAIYAR, son of Late Sayed Shafiur Rahman alias Phool Babu, resident of Mohalla- Dharampur, Police Station Samastipur, District Samastipur Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 02/ 06.07.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. Petitioner is apprehending his arrest in connection with a case registered for the offence under Sections 419, 420 and 120B/34 of the Indian Penal Code. He is named in the First Information Report along with two others, including others unknown. He is alleged to have introduced the imposter in connection with the opening of a bank account in which proceeds of Shakuntala Devi was deposited by the impostor. Counsel for the petitioner submits that from the First Information Report, it will not appear that petitioner has shared the booty as on his introduction the account was opened, whereafter the imposter deposited the cheque and appropriated the proceeds. Petitioner has nothing to do with the appropriation of the proceeds. The offence of cheating is preceded by opening of the bank account, which is on the basis of the introduction of the petitioner. In the circumstances, I am not inclined to admit the petitioner to the privilege of bail in the event of arrest. This application is, accordingly, dismissed with direction to the petitioner to surrender in the court of C.J.M., Darbhanga in 2 connection with Town Police Station Case No. 20 of 2003 within four weeks from today and apply for regular bail, which should be considered in accordance with law.
