IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.44121 of 2008 DEONANDAN RAI, son of late Babulal Rai, Resident of village & P.O. Jahangirpur Sham, P.S. Desari, Dist. Vaishali---------------petitioner Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR----------------------opp.party ----------- 2. 16.12.2008 Heard. The Sub Divisional Officer wrote a letter and thereby alleged that the petitioner sold 2272 litres of kerosene oil in black market. Prior thereto, on 31st July, 2008, in the name of public interest he broke open the PDS shop of the petitioner, took out kerosene oil and sold the same to the person of his choice. The same is evident from Annexure-3 to the petition. It is surprising that the S.D.O. concerned could act in such manner and thereupon purport to hold out that black marketing of kerosene oil has been committed by the petitioner. The conduct of the S.D.O. in the instant case must be independently investigated and appropriate step should be taken in that regard. Be that as it may, the application of the petitioner for grant of anticipatory bail is allowed. Let the petitioner, in the event of his arrest or surrender within six weeks from today, be 2 enlarged on bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of Chief Judicial Magistrate, Vaishali at Hajipur, in connection with Desari P.S.case no. 142 of 2008 subject to the conditions laid down under Section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure.
