JUSTICE MOHIT KUMAR SHAH ORAL ORDER 10-01-2018 Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State.
The petitioner seeks anticipatory bail in connection with Khodawand PS case no. 105 of 2017 registered for the offences punishable under Sections 467, 468, 471, 420, 120B/34 of the Indian Penal Code.
The case of the prosecution is that in view of directions/ orders passed by this Court in CWJC No. 15459 of 2014, an enquiry was set-up by the Vigilance Bureau for making enquiry regarding academic certificates of the teachers appointed in between 2006 to 2015. During the course of enquiry, the certificates including Matric certificate of various teachers were found to be forged. As far as the petitioner is concerned, it has been found that the serial number mentioned in the certificate of the Bihar School Examination Board as 113666 is not correct and
Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.58671 of 2017 (4) dt.10-01-2018 2/2 the same should have been 0113666. On the said allegation, the petitioner has been implicated in the present case. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the said discrepancy appears to be trivial in nature and it is possible that the same may be clerical and typographical error, which is subject to further investigation, hence the petitioner, at the moment, may be granted anticipatory bail. It is also submitted that the petitioner has a clean antecedent.
The learned counsel for the Vigilance has submitted that though it is true that there is a difference of zero in the serial, but the same is subject to further investigation. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, in the event of arrest or surrender within six weeks before the concerned court, the petitioner above named is directed to be released on anticipatory bail on furnishing bonds of Rs. 10,000/- (Rs. Ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Manjhaul, Begusarai in connection with Khodawandpur PS case no. 105 of 2017, subject to the conditions laid down under Section 438(2) of Code of Criminal Procedure.
