IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.1268 of 2011 SHIV SHANKAR GUPTA Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR THROUGH C.B.I. ----------- 02 24.02.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned counsel appearing for the Central Bureau of Investigation. Petitioner seeks his bail in connection with Special Case No. 03 of 2006 arising out of R.C.-3(A) of 2006 registered under Sections 120, 420, 467, 468 and 471 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 13(2) read with Section 13(I) (d) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988. Admittedly, at the relevant time the petitioner was posted as Branch Manager and he approved the claims of the parties on the basis of documents processed by Surveyor and other Officials. Though the petitioner did not verify the documents and facts of the claims before approving the settlement of claims but considering this aspect of the matter that Surveyor and some other co-accused have already been granted bail by this Court, I think it proper to enlarge the petitioner on bail. In view of the aforesaid facts and circumstances as well as submissions of the parties, let the petitioner be released on bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs. 10,000/- (Ten Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of Special Judge, Central Bureau of Investigation, North Bihar, Patna in connection with above stated Special Case No. 03 of 2006 arising out of R.C.-3(A) of 2006 subject to condition that one of the sureties must be son of the petitioner.
