Mr. Sanjay Prasad ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE VINOD KUMAR SINHA ORAL ORDER 16-10-2019 Petitioner seeks bail in anticipation of his arrest in connection with Isuapur P.S. Case No. 229 of 2017 registered for the offences punishable under Sections 419, 420, 409, 467, 468, 471, 201 and 120B of the Indian Penal Code. As per FIR there is allegation of manipulating of documents of the candidates who have been appointed on forged certificate against the petitioner, who happens to be the Incharge of Block Resource Centre and folder was handed over to him.

Submission of learned counsel for the petitioner is that he has never been handed over the folder and drawing my attention towards Annexures 2 and 3 it is submitted that he was made In-charge of the Centre in order to save their skin and

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.61978 of 2019(3) dt.16-10-2019 2/2 petitioner has been made escape goat in this case. Heard learned counsel for the Vigilance, who has opposed the prayer for anticipatory bail stating that petitioner was In-charge of the Block Resource Centre and folder was handed over to him and in order to protect his wife, who has also been appointed, he manipulated the documents, as such there is prima facie involvement of the petitioner in the present case.

In view of above facts and circumstances, I am not inclined to grant the privilege of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. He may surrender and pray for regular bail, which shall be considered on its own merit, without being prejudiced by this order.

This application is, accordingly, dismissed.
