The petitioners seek regular bail in connection with Lauriya P.S. Case No. 181 of 2018, registered for the offence punishable under Sections 466, 467, 468, 471, 474, 420 and 120(B)/34 of the Indian Penal Code.

The allegation of the complainant is that he is the rightful owner of the land and on the order of the Revenue Officer, the land was barricaded by pillars, however, on the alleged date and time of occurrence, the accused persons dismantled the pillars and subsequently, the petitioners herein are said to have been obtained fake ownership certificate with

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.76213 of 2019(3) dt.02-12-2019 2/3 regard to the land belonging to the informant. The learned counsel for the petitioners has submitted that earlier also, the petitioners had moved this Hon'ble Court for grant of regular bail, however, the same was rejected by a coordinate Bench of this Court vide order dated 3.7.2019 passed in Criminal Miscellaneous No. 7620 of 2019, on the ground of misconduct of the petitioners in not disclosing the criminal cases pending against them. However, liberty was granted to the petitioners to renew their prayer for bail after completing one year in custody. Hence, now, since the petitioners have been languishing in custody since 20.8.2018, they have again approached this Court for grant of regular bail. It is further alleged that the allegation made by the complainant is purely of a civil nature and the remedy of the informant / complainant lies before the competent civil court having original jurisdiction.

Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, I deem it fit and proper to enlarge the petitioners on regular bail.

Accordingly, the above named petitioners are directed to be enlarged on bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs. 10,000/- (rupees ten thousand) each with two sureties of the like amount
