                                     Versus

                                 -----------

02 08.07.2011 Heard learned counsel for the

petitioner and learned counsel for the

State.

Apprehending their arrest in

connection with Kotwali P.S. Case No. 277

of 2011 registered for the offence under

sections 420 and 406 of the Indian Penal

Code, the petitioners have prayed for grant

of bail.

Learned counsel for the petitioner

submits that from the perusal of the F.I.R.

itself, it would transpire that the case

appears essentially to be of a civil

nature. He further submits that ingredients

of offence under sections 406 and 420, he

is completely missing in this case. He
further submits that at best it would be a

case of breach of agreement for which the

aggrieved party may seek proper remedy in

accordance with law. Without expressing any

opinion on the merit of the case for the

purposes of bail, I am convinced that

petitioners deserve to be enlarged on bail.

Taking into consideration the facts

and submissions made on behalf of the

parties, let the petitioners, namely M.K.

Srivastava @ Mritunjay Kumar Srivastava and

Prakash Mani Gaurav, in the event of their

arrest or surrender before the court below

within a period of four weeks from the date

of communication of this order, be released

on bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs.

5,000/- (five thousand) each with two

sureties of the like amount each to the

satisfaction of the learned Chief Judicial

Magistrate, Patna, in connection with

Kotwali P.S. Case No. 277 of 2011.
