IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.7573 of 2011 KAILASH PANJIYAR Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2/ 28.2.2011 Heard Sushri Rashmi Kumar, learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner and Shri Dashrath Mehta, APP for the state. The one line allegation in the written report is that when the informant had arrived at the poling station for casting her vote, the present petitioner had given out to her that being a member of a particular caste, which was one of the Scheduled castes, she was casting her vote in favour of the candidate of JD(U) in spite of the fact that there was a candidate of that particular caste of the Scheduled Castes also. The court has serious doubt that the above statement could make out a case under section 3(x) of the Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe (Prevention of atrocities) Act. In that view of the matter, let petitioner Kailash Panjiyar be released on bail, in the event of arrest or surrender, on furnishing bail bond of Rs.5000/(five thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of C.J.M. Saharsa in Nauhatta P.S. Case no. 68 of 2009 subject to the conditions as laid down in section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure. Anil/ ( Dharnidhar Jha, J.)
