JUSTICE MOHIT KUMAR SHAH ORAL ORDER 15-10-2020 The present petition has been taken up for consideration through the mode of Video conferencing in view of the prevailing situation on account of COVID 19 Pandemic, requiring social distancing.
Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and Shri Dinesh Singh, the learned A.P.P. appearing for the State. The petitioner apprehends her arrest in connection with Roh P.S. Case No. 186 of 2019 for the offence punishable under Sections 420, 467, 468 and 471 of the Indian Penal Code. The allegation is regarding the petitioner, who is Aganbari Sewika, having been appointed by the General Body Committee of village Deviasthan Kushwaha tola and she is alleged to have submitted forged and fabricated academic documents.
The learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.24002 of 2020(2) dt.15-10-2020 2/3 that the petitioner is innocent and is having a clean antecedent. It is further submitted that the petitioner has been falsely implicated in the present case, which would be apparent from the certificate issued by the Jharkhand Academic Council, Ranchi dated 06.07.2019, annexed to the present petition as Annexure-2. It is further submitted that the petitioner undertakes to join investigation.
The learned A.P.P. appearing for the State has vehemently opposed the prayer for anticipatory bail. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, considering the submissions made by the learned counsel for the parties and taking into account the fact that the petitioner is having a clean antecedent and is ready to join investigation, I deem it fit and proper to admit the petitioner to the privilege of anticipatory bail, however, subject to certain conditions. Accordingly, in the event of arrest or surrender before the learned court below within a period of four weeks from today, the petitioner, above named, is directed to be released on anticipatory bail on furnishing bail-bonds of Rs. 10,000/- with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Judicial Magistrate, 1st Class, Nawadah in connection with Roh Case No. 186 of 2019 subject to the
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.24002 of 2020(2) dt.15-10-2020 3/3 conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) Cr. P.C. It is further directed that the petitioner would mark her attendance before the S.H.O. of the concerned police station at 10 A.M. on each and every Monday of the week and in the event of her failure to do so on two consecutive occasions, the present privilege of anticipatory bail shall stand cancelled automatically and the petitioner shall be taken into custody forthwith.
