The petitioner in the present case is seeking anticipatory bail in connection with Morkahi P.S. Case No. 108 of 2019 registered for the offences punishable under Sections 406, 419, 420 of the Indian Penal Code.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has been implicated in this case due to political rivalry. It is further submitted that the petitioner has no role in granting the amount to the beneficiaries as the same was being granted by the B.D.O. of the Block.

Learned APP for the State has opposed the prayer of anticipatory bail.

Considering the facts and circumstances of the case wherein it appears from the records that there is a fair and

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.75313 of 2019(3) dt.29-11-2019 2/2 categorical allegation against this petitioner that he being the Ward Member had been collecting illegal money from the beneficiaries of the scheme and a three member inquiry committee which was constituted at the Block level to look into the allegations of beneficiaries against this petitioner has also reported these matters to the District Magistrate and thereupon the present FIR has been lodged, this Court is not inclined to grant privilege of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. The prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner is, thus, refused. In case the petitioner surrenders and prays for regular bail to the petitioner within a period of four weeks from today before the learned court below, his prayer for regular bail shall be considered on it's own merit without being prejudiced by the order of this Court.
