IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.29234 of 2010 DILEEP KUMAR NIRALA Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3 28.10.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner Dileep Kumar Nirala who apprehends his arrest in connection with Bhagwanpur P.S. Case No.29/2010 registered under Sections 419, 420, 409, 467, 468, 471 of the I.P.C. Also heard learned counsel for the State. Admittedly, petitioner was Panchayat Rojgar Sewak at the relevant time and entrusted for certain Government schemes. It is alleged that he committed irregularity and did not complete the work. The contention of the learned counsel for the petitioner is that Technical Assistant has already been granted privilege of anticipatory bail by the learned Sessions Judge itself and the Mukhiya of concerned Panchayat, Kaudiya was exonerated by the informant himself from the case. He also points out that it is the Mukhiya who has issued cheques and so far as petitioner is concerned, neither he is responsible for issuance of cheques nor for so-called sanction. Moreover, he drew my attention towards Annexures-9 and submitted that the sanction had already been 2 granted before the allotment of the aforesaid work. Considering the aforesaid submissions as well as this aspect of the matter that co-accused has already been granted privilege of anticipatory bail by the learned court below itself. I think that the privilege of anticipatory bail be extended to the petitioner. Accordingly, this anticipatory bail petition is allowed and it is ordered that petitioner, namely, Dileep Kumar Nirala, in the event of his arrest / surrender in connection with Bhagwanpur P.S. Case No.29/2010, shall be released on bail furnishing bail bonds of Rs.10,000/- with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Siwan subject to condition as well as under Section 438(2) of the Cr.P.C. pn (Hemant Kumar Srivastava, J.)
