IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.12771 of 2009 ARUN KUMAR PURBEY son of Late Satya Narayan Purbey resident of village Madhepur, P.s. Madhepsur, District Madhubani Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2 19/05/2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. It has been submitted on behalf of the petitioner that although he is Secretary of the concerned School Education Committee, materials exist to show that construction of the building was being done by the Headmaster of the school and money was taken out from the Bank and received by him. The gist of the allegation is that in the construction of the school building instead of using new bricks, old bricks were used. As a Secretary the petitioner was definitely negligent in not taking steps to prevent such wrong in respect of construction of the school building. Hence, this Court is not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. His prayer for bail is, thus, rejected. However, in case the petitioner appears before the Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Jhanjharpur in connection with Madhepur P.S. Case No. 118/08 within six weeks and prays for regular bail, then the same should be considered expeditiously in accordance with law and the relevant facts noticed above in this order.
