Case No.-62 Year-2018 Thana- DIGHWARA District- Saran ====================================================== Purushottam Sah @ Purushottam Kumar Gupta @ Purashatam Kumar Gupta son of Sitaram Shah, resident of Village- Sitalpur, P.S. Dighwara, DistrictSaran. ... ... Petitioner/s

The State Of Bihar ... ... Opposite Party/s ====================================================== Appearance :
For the Petitioner/s :
Mr. Kamlesh Kumar Pathak For the Opposite Party/s :
Mr. Narendra Kumar Singh ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE VINOD KUMAR SINHA ORAL ORDER 10-04-2019 This is an application for grant of anticipatory bail in connection with Dighwara P.S. Case No. 62 of 2018, disclosing offences under Sections 406, 420, 467, 468, 471, 504, 506 and of the Indian Penal Code.
Allegation against the petitioner and other accused persons is that they have collected rupees 95 lacs from the complainant and others on the pretext of providing job and provided a joining letter also and when the complainant went to join the place of joining, he informed that the joining letter is forged. It further appears that the petitioner is accused in one more case of similar nature.
Submission of learned counsel for the petitioner is that there is general allegation against the petitioner and the
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.71081 of 2018(3) dt.10-04-2019 2/2 allegation is false and concocted and no case is made out under Sections 406, 420 and other Sections of the Indian Penal Code. Heard learned A.P.P. also, who opposed the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner stating that they have not only collected the money, but also given a forged joining letter. Having heard both sides, in view of the facts and circumstances of the case, I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner, rather he should surrender before the court below within a period of six weeks and make prayer for regular bail, which will be considered on its own merit, without being prejudice by order of this Court.
Accordingly, this application is dismissed.
