He is in custody for 38 days.

Learned lawyer for the State opposes the prayer for bail. He submits petitioner played an active role in forging false birth certificate.

We have considered the materials on record. Statements of witnesses and other incriminating materials show petitioner who is an employee of the Gram Panchayat had forged birth certificate in favour of a co-accused. Investigation is in progress. Under such circumstances, we are not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner at this stage.

Accordingly, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is rejected. ( Ananya Bandyopadhyay, J. ) ( Joymalya Bagchi, J.)
