FALKA, DISTRICT-KATIHAR Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ******* /2/ 12.10.2010 Heard the counsel for the parties 2. This is a petition for grant of anticipatory bail for offence under Sections 379, 420 and 384/34 of the Indian Penal Code. 3. It is alleged that the complainant had received Rs. 15,000/- (Fifteen Thousand), as first installment under Indra Awas Yojna,, the Mukhiya demanded Rs. 5,000/- (Five Thousand), as legal gratification and took Rs. 500/- (Five Hundred) and directed to pay Rs. 4,500/- (Four Thousand and Five Hundred) to his associate. The learned counsel for the petitioner, submits that the complaint petition is filed after much delay of the occurrence. The occurrence has taken place on 24.05.2008 and the complaint case has been filed on 29.08.2008. 4. Hence having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. The prayer for bail is rejected. 2 However, if the petitioner surrenders and files regular bail then that will be considered on its own merit without being prejudiced by this order.
