04. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is innocent and has been falsely implicated in this case. The petitioner is a daily-wager and is having no concern with the construction of toilet or making payment to persons for the said purpose. The informant is a Block Coordinator and has falsely implicated the petitioner in the present incident. Learned counsel further submits that it is not believable that a person in in whose account the money was deposited would give the money to the petitioner merely on his saying. In any case, the petitioner has deposited Rs. 60,000/- in the office of Block Development Officer under protest though it is claimed by the beneficiaries that they have not handed over all the money to the petitioner. The petitioner is in custody since 27.02.2025 and charge-sheet has been submitted. The petitioner is having clean antecedent.
05. Learned APP for the State opposes the prayer for bail. Learned APP submits that the petitioner has taken the money from the beneficiaries, each of whom received 12,000/- towards the construction of toilet in their houses.
06. Having regard to the facts and circumstances and submissions made on behalf of the parties and considering the vague nature of allegation and further considering the period of
Patna High Court CR. MISC.
