====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE MOHIT KUMAR SHAH ORAL ORDER 23-11-2021 Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned A.P.P. for the State.

This is an application for grant of anticipatory bail in connection with Narhat (Sitamarhi) PS case no. 11 of 2018 registered for the offence punishable under Sections 467, 468, 471, 420, 120(B) of Indian Penal Code.

The allegation is regarding the T.E.T. Certificates of Panchayat Niyojit teachers of third/ fourth phase having been found to be fake by the enquiry team. The petitioner is also stated to be one of the accused person whose T.E.T. Certificate was found to be fake.

The learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the petitioner is innocent, has been falsely implicated in the present case and is having a clean antecedent.

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.6234 of 2021(2) dt.23-11-2021 2/3 The learned counsel for the petitioner has further submitted, by referring to paragraph no. 11 of the present petition, that the petitioner has already been removed from the post of Panchayat Teacher and moreover, she has never received any salary for the work rendered by her, hence atleast, the privilege of anticipatory bail be extended to the petitioner.

Per contra, the learned APP for the State has vehemently opposed the prayer of bail.

Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, considering the submissions made by the learned counsel for the petitioner and taking into account the fact that no loss has been suffered by the Government as also the petitioner is having a clean antecedent, apart from the fact that the services of the petitioner has been terminated, I deem it fit and appropriate to admit the petitioner to the privilege of anticipatory bail. Accordingly, the abovenamed petitioner, in the event of her arrest or surrender before the court below within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt/ production of a copy of this order, is directed to be released on anticipatory bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (Rs. Ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned A.C.J.M.-VI, Nawada in connection with Narhat
