However, keeping in view the fact that the engagement of the petitioner was only for eleven months in 2003 and subsequently, the petitioner has been appointed as Nagar Shikshak in 2006 coupled with the fact that recovery of honorarium has already been made, it is a case for consideration of prayer for regular bail of the petitioner by the learned Court below in case the petitioner surrenders within a period of six weeks before the learned CJM, Khagaria in connection with Khagaria Town P.S. Case No. 322 of 2014. With the aforesaid observation/direction, this application is disposed of.
