Versus The State Of Bihar ----------- 2. 8.9.2011. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. The petitioner apprehends his arrest in connection with a case registered for the offence punishable under sections 420 and 384/34 of the Indian Penal Code. It is alleged that the petitioner, who is husband of Mukhiya of Barail Panchayat and Panchayat Secretary, Rabindra Singh, a co-accused came together and told the informant and one Sangeeta Devi to come to Derma Branch of Punjab National Bank in order to withdraw the amount which was sanctioned to them under Indira Awas Scheme, Accordingly, they went to the bank where the accused persons were present. They withdrew Rs.24,000/- each. The amount withdrawn by them was taken by the accused persons on the pretext of counting the currency. They took Rs.6,000/-each from the amount withdrawn. Again after one year they approached them and told to receive the second installment of the amount under said scheme. They again went to the bank and withdrew Rs.12,000/- each. Once again the accused persons took money on the pretext of counting the currency and took Rs.2,500/- each from the amount withdrawn. Thus, it has been alleged that the informant as well as Sangeeta Devi was cheated by the accused persons. 2 It is submitted on behalf of the petitioner that there is no truth behind the allegation. The manner in which the offence has been alleged is quite unnatural. The petitioner is neither Mukhiya nor Panchayat Secretary nor concerned in any manner with the sanction of Indira Awas Scheme. He has got no criminal antecedent. He being a social worker and husband of a Mukhiya has been implicated falsely with oblique motive. Taking into consideration the nature of allegation and inordinate delay in institution of the first information report, let the petitioner, namely, Shree Ram in the event of his arrest or surrender before the court below within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt/communication of the order be released on bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs.5,000/- (five thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of C.J.M., Nawada in connection with Akbarpur P.S.Case No. 57 of 2011 subject to the conditions as laid down under section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure.
