Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.3199 of 2020(3) dt.02-03-2020 2/3 12.03.2019 it would be evident that firstly the concerned University i.e. Bundelkhand University, Jhansi (U.P.) informed the concerned District Panchayati Raj Officer, Bhojpur, Ara that the mark-sheets of the petitioners were found to be forged and not tallying with the records. Learned counsel further submits that subsequently by letter dated 28.08.2019, which is Annexure -2 (1) at page no. 18 of this application the same University i.e Bundelkhand University informed the District Panchayati Raj Officer, Bhojpur stating therein that due to the fault in the computer the earlier verification report was sent to the District Panchayati Raj Officer, Bhojpur, Ara regarding the fake marksheets of the petitioners, but the fact of the matter is that the petitioners have passed the B.Com and M.Com. examinations in 1st Division and their mark-sheets are validly issued by the Bundelkhand University, Jhansi (U.P.).

Having heard learned counsel for the parties and taking into consideration the fact that subsequently Bundelkhand University, Jhansi (U.P.) by its letter dated 28.08.2019 informed the District Panchayati Raj Officer, Bhojpur, Ara that the marks obtained by the petitioners are correct and they have passed their respective examinations in 1st Division, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the
