IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.42494 of 2008 CHANDRALATA SHARMA, W/o Motilal Sharma, R/o Village – Chhota Bangara, Sarhari, P.S. Sugauli, District- East Champaran. Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 04.12.2008. Heard. Sonu Kumar Gupta is accused of having kidnapped a minor girl, by name, Madhu Kumari. In course of investigation, Sonu Kumar Gupta was arrested. Sonu Kumar Gupta applied for and obtained bail and, while doing so, purported to rely upon a School Leaving Certificate, issued by the School in which the petitioner is working as a Teacher, suggesting that said Madhu Kumari has attained majority. In a complaint filed, the father of Madhu Kumari is contending that the said certificate is a forged certificate. It has not been alleged that the petitioner had anything to do with the issuance of the said certificate except that it had been alleged that the petitioner is closely connected with Sonu Kumar Gupta. Considering the facts, as above, and there being no application before the appropriate Court seeking a verdict as regards falsity of the said certificate, I allow the application - 2 - of the petitioner for grant of anticipatory bail. In the event of arrest or surrender of the petitioner within six weeks from today, let the petitioner, namely, Chandralata Sharma be released on bail on her furnishing bond in the sum of Rs. 10,000/- (ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of Sri Sagir Alam, Judicial Magistrate, Sadar, Motihari, East Champaran, in connection with Complaint Case No. 2562/07, subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) of the Criminal Procedure Code. dk ( Barin Ghosh, J. )
