For the Petitioner/s :

For the Opposite Party/s :

Mr.Ajay Mishra, APP ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR SINHA ORAL ORDER 03-07-2024 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State.

2. This application, for grant of anticipatory bail, arises out of Uchkagaon Police Station Case No. 206 of 2023 disclosing the offences under sections 420, 467, 468, 471 and 120(B) of the Indian Penal Code.

3. As per the First Information Report, the petitioner allegedly produced forged certificates at the time of counselling for appointment of Primary Teachers.

4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has falsely been implicated in the present case alleging therein that the petitioner tried to obtain the appointment on the basis of forged certificates is without any basis. From perusal of the FIR, it would be evident that Inquiry Committee in its report has found some discrepancy in the certificate of the petitioner but the nature of discrepancy has not been disclosed in the FIR. The FIR itself is completely vague

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.38374 of 2024(2) dt.03-07-2024 2/2 and ambiguous. The learned Sessions Judge in the order impugned has taken note of the fact that till date the Investigating Officer has not been able to get the details of forged certificates of the petitioner. The petitioner has not been appointed on the basis of certificate neither has he drawn any salary.

5. Regard being had to the submissions made on behalf of the parties and taking into consideration the fact that the petitioner has not been appointed on the basis of said certificate and no discrepancy has been pointed out in the FIR, I am inclined to grant the petitioner privilege of anticipatory bail.

6. Let the petitioner, named above, in the event of arrest or surrender before the court below within four weeks, be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate-IX, Gopalganj in connection with Uchakgaon Police Station Case No. 206 of 2023 subject to the condition as laid down under Section 438 (2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure.
