For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Binod Kumar Mishra For the Opposite Party/s : Mr. Bal Mukund Prasad Sinha ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE PRABHAT KUMAR JHA ORAL ORDER 22-12-2016 Heard both sides.

The petitioner apprehends his arrest in Chatauni P.S. case No.189 of 2016 under Section 420, 406 of the Indian Penal Code and under Section 138 of N.I. Act.

The informant alleged that he lent Rs. 10 lacs to the petitioner for running his business. The petitioner returned him Rs. 3 lacs but thereafter again the informant lent Rs. 5 lacs and on demand the petitioner issued a cheque of Rs. 7 lacs bearing No. 093855 dated 04.05.2016 and again a cheque of Rs. 5 lacs bearing No. 093856 dated 27.06.2015 but both the cheques were dishonoured due to paucity of fund in the account of petitioner. It is submitted that the present case was lodged on 01.08.2016 but the petitioner lodged Chatauni P.S. case No. 437 of 2016 on 09.07.2016 for theft of the aforesaid two cheques and

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.49510 of 2016 (2) dt.22-12-2016 2/2 alleged that Branch Manager of the bank informed that Ram Babu Prasad had come with two cheques for encashment. The learned counsel for the informant as well as the learned Additional Public Prosecutor opposed the prayer for anticipatory bail.

It appears that petitioner disputed the factum of taking loan and he lodged the case earlier in point of time about the missing of cheques, which were presented by the informant for encashment.

Considering the facts aforesaid and the nature of allegations made against the petitioner, the above named petitioner, in the event of his arrest or surrender before the learned court below within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt / production of a copy of this order, is directed to be enlarged on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (Ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, East Champaran at Motihari in Chatauni P.S. Case No. 189 of 2016, subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure.
