CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE VINOD KUMAR SINHA ORAL ORDER
This is an application for grant of anticipatory bail in connection with Complaint Case No. 465C of 2016, disclosing offences under Sections 406 and 120(B) of the Indian Penal Code.
Allegation as per complaint case is that the brother of the petitioner got a sale-deed executed from the brother of the complainant and it is alleged that at the instance of the petitioner, the forged sale-deed has been executed. It further appears that the petitioner is accused in five other cases.
Submission of learned counsel for the petitioner is that the complaint case itself shows that there is no specific allegation has been attributed against the petitioner and only it
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.3546 of 2019(3) dt.26-03-2019 2/2
has been suspected that the petitioner in collision with other got the sale-deed executed.
Heard learned A.P.P. as well as learned counsel for the complainant, they have opposed the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner.
Having heard both sides, in view of the facts and circumstances of the case as stated above and criminal antecedents of the petitioner, I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner, rather he should surrender before the court below within a period of six weeks and make prayer for regular bail, which will be considered on its own merit, without being prejudice by order of this Court, is possible, to be disposed of on the same day.
