The petitioner seeks bail in Morkahi P.S. Case No. 28 of 2021, registered for the offence punishable under Section 420 and other allied sections of the Indian Penal Code. As per the prosecution case, petitioner is said to have obtained appointment as Panchayat Shikshak, on the basis of forged and fabricated certificate.

It is submitted on behalf of the petitioner that petitioner has falsely been implicated in this case merely on suspicion. Petitioner is was appointed after due verification by the concerned authority and he never produced any forged and fabricated certificate. Moreover, petitioner has been terminated from the service. Petitioner is in custody since 13.08.2021

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.3220 of 2022(6) dt.19-05-2022 2/2 having no criminal antecedent.

Learned APP however, vehemently opposed the prayer for bail.

Considering the facts aforesaid and the nature of allegation, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner abovenamed on bail. Accordingly, the same is rejected. However, once charge is framed and trial commences, the petitioner shall be released on bail by the learned trial court on its own satisfaction and on the condition that petitioner will cooperate in disposal of trial and appear before the court, as and when required.

With above observation, the petition stands disposed of.
