The petitioner is apprehending his arrest in connection with Civil Lines P.S.Case no.90 of 2018 registered for offences punishable under Sections 406, 409, 420, 120(B) of the Indian Penal Code.
Allegation against the petitioner , who happens to be the District Welfare Officer, Gaya is that the huge amount in crores has been transferred to the different Institutions in the account of scholarship of the students and misappropriation of crores of rupees has been made by them by sending it into fake Institutions. Learned counsel for the petitioner has drawn my attention towards page 21 of the petition, which is the enquiry report and the enquiry report clearly shows that the writing of the petitioner was found different on the cheques and furthermore the petitioner
Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.42367 of 2018 (3) dt.16-08-2018 2/2 was put under suspension on 7.7.2017 and he was engaged from 31.7.2017 to 10.11.2017 and the cheques were issued on 31.7.2017, as such the petitioner has falsely been implicated in this case.
Heard learned A.P.P., who has drawn my attention towards para 50 of the case diary and submitted that all the cheques were signed by the petitioner and it has also come during the investigation that the hands of the petitioner can not be denied. Having heard both sides and in view of the facts and circumstances, as stated above, I am not inclined to grant privilege of anticipatory bail to the petitioner, however, the petitioner is directed to surrender before the learned court below within a period of six weeks from the date of order and make prayer for regular bail, which will be considered by the learned court below on its own merit.
With the aforesaid observation, this application is dismissed.
