                   learned A.P.P. for the State.

                             2.    The petitioner apprehends his arrest in a case

                   registered for the offences punishable under Sections 318(4),

                   338, 336(3), 340(2), 61(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.

                             3.    Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that

                   petitioner is a person with clean antecedent and the informant

                   alleges that the petitioner along with the contractor, based on

                   fake signature of the Headmaster of the concerned school on the

                   bill related to submersible boring, bench and desk etc. obtained

                   payment.

                             4.    Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that

                   petitioner has been falsely implicated in the instant case by the

                   informant without holding a proper inquiry. It is next submitted

                                            2/3




          that had petitioner been given an opportunity of hearing to

          explain his side of the case perhaps the instant FIR would not

          have been instituted. It is next submitted that petitioner is a

          Junior Engineer and the contractor had completed the work and

          had requested the Headmaster to submit the bill as per

          departmental order. It is further submitted that it was the

          Headmaster who submitted the bill but in the FIR it is being

          alleged that based on a fake bill, the payment was obtained. The

          learned counsel next submits that petitioner being Junior

          Engineer is aware of the consequences which would entail in the

          event if it is found that petitioner was also indulged in the

          occurrence. It is also submitted that petitioner will not abscond

          rather will cooperate in the investigation to prove his innocence.

                   5.     Learned A.P.P. for the State opposes the prayer for

          anticipatory bail of the petitioner.

                   6.     Considering the submissions made by the learned
