For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Sunil Srivastava For the Opposite Party/s : Mr. Sri Rajballabh Singh ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE VINOD KUMAR SINHA ORAL ORDER 28-06-2018 The petitioner is apprehending his arrest in connection with Palgiganj P.S. Case No. 131 of 2015, registered for offences punishable under Sections 419, 420, 467, 468, 471, 472, 406, 409, 120B of the Indian Penal Code.

Allegation against the petitioner, who happens to be cleark at ANM of PHC Paliganj, is that he in connivance with coaccused of this case got Rs. 9,00,000/- lakh fraudulently withdrawn from the G.P.F account of the informant. It has been submitted on behalf of the petitioner that he has falsely been made accused in this case and has nothing to do with the allegation rather it is the co-accused Sumankant Sinha, who has withdrawn the money from the G.P.F. account of the informant and considering the same one of the co-accused has

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.32479 of 2018 (3) dt.28-06-2018 2/2 been granted the privilege of anticipatory bail by a coordinate Bench of this Court vide order dated 10.05.2017 passed in Cr. Misc. No. 12860 of 2017.

Learned counsel for the State opposed the prayer for bail and submitted that the petitioner is also responsible for the said fraud as it has come in the case diary that he has suppressed the fact of removal of pages from the ledger book etc. Having heard both sides, considering the facts and circumstances of the case and nature of accusation, I am not inclined to grant the privilege of anticipatory bail to the petitioner, this application is accordingly dismissed.

The petitioner, if so desire, may surrender before the court below and pray for regular bail, which will be considered by the court below on the merit of the case.
