While their name were shown in the final selection list but in spite of that, they were not selected. Thereafter, Appeal Case No. 28 of 2016 and Appeal Case No. 01 of 2016 were filed before the District Education Tribunal, Nalanda, for their appointment, in which, orders were also passed on 26.04.2016 and 30.06.2016, respectively, in spite of that they were not selected. During pendency of aforesaid writ applications, direction was given by this Hon'ble Court for inquiry, in which, it was detected that all the aforesaid writ petitioners including the petitioner of prsent case had not applied for the post of Panchayat Teachers in second phase selection of year 2008 in Panchayat Raj, Adampur and Panchayat Raj, Pokharpur and both the orders of aforesaid appeals were forged. Thereafter, direction was given by this Hon'ble High Court to lodge the case. Accordingly, the present case has been lodged.

Having considered the facts and circumstances of the case and the nature of allegation against the petitioner, I am not inclined to allow the privilege of pre-arrest bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, his prayer for grant of pre-arrest bail stands rejected. The petitioner is directed to surrender before the

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.73844 of 2018(5) dt.29-04-2019 3/3 trial court within four weeks and pray for regular bail, which would be considered by the trial court in accordance with law without being prejudiced by the order of this Court. (Rajendra Kumar Mishra, J) Bhardwaj/- U T
