Allegation against him is of seeking appointment as panchayat teacher based on fake and fabricated marksheet. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is a person with clean antecedent and has been falsely implicated in the present case, it is next submitted that in view of the amnesty given by the Hon'ble Patna High Court, to those teachers who had sought appointment on forged and fabricated marksheet to resign, the petitioner resigned in the year 2016

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.8648 of 2022(2) dt.02-09-2022 2/2 itself. Learned counsel further submits that the said resignation was a little belated as petitioner was not aware that the Hon'ble High Court had given direction to resign within a period of three months, it is next submitted that the present F.I.R. came to be instituted in the year 2021, it is thus submitted that since petitioner had already resigned as such no useful purpose would be served by sending the petitioner to judicial custody. Learned A.P.P. for the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner.

Considering the submissions made by the learned counsel for the petitioner, the petitioner above-named, in the event of his arrest or surrender before the learned Court below within a period of six weeks from today, be released on anticipatory bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs. 10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand) each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the learned court below where the case is pending/successor court in connection with Bairginia P.S.
