For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Krishna Pd. Singh, Sr. Advocate Mr. Bhaskar Shankar, Advocate For the State : Mr. Subhash Chandra Mishra, A.P.P. For the Informant : Mr. Tej Bahadur Singh, Sr. Advocate Mr. Navendu Kumar, Advocate ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE DR. JUSTICE RAVI RANJAN ORAL ORDER 30-08-2016 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners, the State and the informant.

The petitioners apprehend their arrest in a case registered for the offence punishable under Sections 420, 406, 465, 468, 504 and 120 (B) of the Indian Penal Code.

It is contended that petitioner no.1 had sold plot no.593 which was not transferred in favour of the mother of the

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.29582 of 2016 (2) dt.30-08-2016 2/3 informant, therefore, no fraud has been committed by him. It is further urged that the informant, earlier to institution of the FIR, had already filed Title Suit No.25/2016 for declaration that the sale deed executed by the petitioner no.1 is null and void and not binding upon him and also for declaration of possession over the land as per the boundary stated in Plot No.590 sale deed executed in favour of the mother of the informant and had already sought permanent injunction.

Per contra, learned counsel for the informant has submitted that the petitioners stood as witnesses in 1977 sale deed which was executed by the wife of petitioner no.1 in favour of the informant's mother stating therein that Plot No.590 was being transferred but actual boundary shown was regarding Plot No.593, therefore, petitioner no.1 could not have sold Plot No.593 which was in actual possession of the informant.

On the aforesaid, it is stated on behalf of the petitioners that the issue is already before the civil court of competent jurisdiction and, thus, the case being a civil nature, the petitioners deserve for privilege of anticipatory bail.

Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, let the petitioners above-named be released on bail in the event of their arrest/surrender before the court below within a

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.29582 of 2016 (2) dt.30-08-2016 3/3 period of six weeks from today in connection with Arwal P.S.
