STATE OF JHARKHAND Respondents

JUDGEMENT

(1.) HEARD the learned Counsel appearing for the petitioner and the learned APP appearing for the State.

(2.) THE petitioner, who is an accused for offence under Sections 409/419/420/ 467/468/471 read with Section 120B of the Indian Penal Code, prays for anticipatory bail expressing apprehension of his arrest in connection with Latehar P.S. Case No. 116 of 2006.

(3.) HOWEVER , when the informant brought the matter to the knowledge of the Secretary, Health Department, he asked the informant to take step for deleting the name of the petitioner from the first information report and the reason was that earlier to lodgement of the case when this matter was enquired by the Committee, it was found that those 13 persons had never been appointed/transferred by this petitioner rather petitioner's signature had been forged and that under the direction of the Secretary, the informant did issue letter to the concerned police station, but it was not taken notice of and, thereby the petitioner was again put to trouble, though he is quite innocent and keeping in view the circumstances showing innocence of the petitioner was admitted to anticipatory bail in Mandar P.S. Case No. 27 of 2006, but subsequent to that, instant case has been lodged being Latehar P.S. Case No. 116 of 2006, wherein 7 persons, out of same 13 persons, are said to have been transferred by the petitioner, which allegations had earlier been found to be false by the Committee and, therefore, the petitioner is entitled to anticipatory bail in this case also.
