IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.44766 of 2008 MATHURA PRASAD--------------------------petitioner Versus STATE OF BIHAR--------------------------opp.party ----------- 2. 24.11.2008 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The case relates to presentation of a marksheet indicated her percentage of marks for applying for the post of Gram Katchari Sachiv. On entering into correspondence in order to verifying the correctness of the document, the appointing authorities came to the conclusion, as sper reports, that the document was forged and fabricated. The contention is that the husband of the Sarpanch was running a coaching institute and he had handed over the marksheet to him. The next contention was that the wife of the present petitioner had contested the election for the post of Sarpanch against the Sarpanch, who was one of the members of the appointing committee and it was simply absurd that the petitioner would be knowingly presenting a forged document to his enemy. Be that as it may or whatever the defence of the petitioner, the official correspondence for 2 verification of the correctness or otherwise of the document indicates that it was forged and fabricated. It is also not denied that the petitioner had furnished the document. Considering which, prayer for bail is rejected. However, as and when the charge is framed in this case by the court below, the court below either the Chief Judicial Magistrate or the Judicial Magistrate, for that reason, shall itself release the petitioner Mathura Prasad on bail in Nawada Town P.S.case no. 207/08 on execution of bonds to its satisfaction.
