IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.17891 of 2010 JAI PRAKASH PRASAD @ JAI PRAKASH NARAIN Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 02. 19.05.2010. Heard the learned counsel, Sri Rakesh Kumar Samrendu on behalf of the petitioner, Jai Prakash Prasad @ Jai Prakash Narain who apprehends his arrest in Shikarpur P.S. Case No.90 of 2010 under Section 406, 408, 409, 420, 467, 468, 471, 120 (B), 193 and 194 of the I.P.C. and also heard the learned A.P.P. on behalf of the State. The prosecution case is that the complainant Sharda Devi filed complaint Case No.629 (C) of 2010 against these accused and the accused Braj Kishore Sah alleging that the accused persons falsely created the death certificate of the mother-in-law of Braj Kishore Sah, accused No.1, showing the date of death as 26.04.1983 whereas in fact Most. Hiramati Devi died on 26.05.1983. The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner has no role at all in issuing the death certificate because after investigation made by the S.D.O., B.D.O. and other officials, the said death certificate was issued. In support of his contention, the petitioner has annexed the application filed by Braj Kishore Sah for grant of the death certificate. Pursuant 2 to that application, the Block Statistical Officer examined witnesses and submitted report which has been annexed as Annexure-3. Thereafter, on the basis of that report, on the direction of the B.D.O., this petitioner issued the death certificate. On the other hand, learned A.P.P. for the State vehemently opposed the prayer for Anticipatory Bail. It appears that there are land dispute between the accused No.1 and the complainant and in that case, the date of death of Most Hiramati Devi is in issue. The complainant has obtained certificate regarding date of death from Mukhiya and Sarpanch and this death certificate has been obtained by the accused No.1, Braj Kishore Sah. Considering the above facts and circumstances of the case, I direct the petitioner to surrender before the Court below within one month from today and on his surrendering, he shall be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.10,000/- with two sureties of the like amount to the satisfaction of the Court below.
