Mr. H.A. Khan ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ANJANI KUMAR SHARAN ORAL ORDER 09-11-2022 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned APP for the State.

Learned counsel for the petitioners is directed to remove the defects within four weeks.

The petitioners apprehend their arrest in a case registered for the offence punishable under section 420, 409, 467, 468 read with section 34 of the Indian Penal Code.

It is submitted by learned counsel for the petitioners that petitioners are quite innocent and have committed no offence. They have been falsely implicated in this case. No such occurrence, in the manner as alleged, has ever taken place. The allegation levelled against the petitioners is not specific rather

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.33030 of 2022(4) dt.09-11-2022 2/3 general and omnibus in nature. He further submits that against the sanctioned amount of Rs.15,000/-, a sum of Rs.8,000/- only was credited in the account of ward no.4 under Nal Jal Yojana. As per the measurement book, petitioners had already completed work of Rs.6,68,000/-. However, they had only withdrawn Rs.5,30,000/- from the said account and the remaining sum of Rs.2,70,000/- is still lying balance in the account. This rather shows that a sum of Rs.1,38,000/- is still due to be paid to the petitioners. Petitioners have no criminal antecedent, as also mentioned in para-3 of the bail application.

Learned APP for the State opposed the prayer for anticipatory bail and submits that the petitioners in connivance with each other transferred Rs.1,25,000/- for which they were not legally entitled to do so.

Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, since work has already been completed by the petitioners, let the above named petitioners be released on bail, in the event of their arrest or surrender before the learned court below within a period of six weeks from today, on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 25,000/- (Rupees Twenty Five 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 Dumra P.S.

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.33030 of 2022(4) dt.09-11-2022 3/3 Case No.534 of 2021, subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) of the Cr.P.C.
