The learned counsel for the petitioners has submitted
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.7386 of 2021(2) dt.23-11-2021 2/2 that the petitioners are innocent, have been falsely implicated in the present case and are having a clean antecedent. The learned counsel for the petitioners has further submitted that the petitioners have since stood terminated from their services and since the case of the prosecution is based on documentary evidence, there is no possibility of tampering with the evidence. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, considering the submissions made by the learned counsel for the parties and taking into account the fact that the petitioners are having a clean antecedent and moreover, they have already been terminated from their services, I deem it fit and proper to admit the petitioners to the privilege of anticipatory bail.
Accordingly, in the event of arrest or surrender before the learned court below within a period of four weeks from today, the petitioners, above-named, shall be enlarged on bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs. 10,000/- each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the learned Judicial Magistrate, First Class, Sherghati, Gaya in connection with Imamganj P.S.
