IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.16512 of 2009 BALMUKUND GOSWAMI, son of late-Bindeshwar Goswami, resident of village-Gogari Bhujua, P.S.-Khagariya, District-Khagariya. …….Petitioner. Versus The State Of Bihar …….Opposite Party. ----------- 03. 06.07.2009 The petitioner was at the relevant time Assistant record keeper in the District Registry Office. He apprehends his arrest in Begusarai Town P.S. Case No. 307 of 2008 instituted for the offences under Sections 420, 465, 466, 467, 468, 471 and 120B of the Indian Penal Code. It has been alleged by the Head Clerk of the District Registry Office that petitioner has interpolated in the original registration book of documents maintained at the registration office. It is alleged that petitioner along with other persons managed to interpolate certain entries. In my view, interpolation in public records is a serious matter. Petitioner would be well advised to surrender before the Court below within a period of four weeks and pray for regular bail. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that similarly situated other persons have already been granted Anticipatory bail by this Court. In my view, the petitioner was the In-charge of the records and it is - 2 - because of his action that allegedly others managed to make interpolation. He is fully responsible for the interpolation. The application is dismissed with aforesaid observations. Shageer (Navaniti Prasad Singh, J)
