IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.17289 of 2009 SHAILENDRA KUMAR MISHRA Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 02/ 21.05.2009 Heard Sri Shekhar Singh, Advocate for the petitioner and Sri Dasrath Mehta, APP for the State. Considering the nature of the offence, I am not inclined to direct the release of the petitioner on anticipatory bail in spite of submissions that it could not be a case under Section 406 of the IPC because the facts constitute an offence under Section 420 of the Penal Code. The petition is dismissed. However, if the petitioner appears in the court below with a draft of Rs. 3,00,000/- (three lakhs), the petitioner could be admitted to bail on that very day and the draft shall be made over to the complainant. The amount and nature of the bond and sureties shall be decided by the court below in the event of granting bail to the accused. DKS/ (Dharnidhar Jha, J.)
