The petitioner seeks bail in a case registered for the offence punishable under Sections 467, 468, 471, 406, 420 of the Indian Penal Code.

The allegation in the first information report based upon the written complaint of Circle Officer, Jagdispur is that upon inspection of Circle No.3 and 6 some irregularities were found in the revenue records and disciplinary action as also registration of an F.I.R. was ordered against the petitioner.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is a Revenue clerk and he has been made an accused in this case on account of some irregularities having been Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.52263 of 2025(4) dt.28-11-2025 committed in the revenue records for which he is not responsible. He has, however, submitted that disciplinary action has also been initiated against him and has pointed out that for an occurrence which has taken place on 27.04.2019, the first information report came to be lodged on 08.06.2019. Additionally, the learned counsel has submitted that the petitioner is an ailing person who has been shifted to Patna from Bhagalpur for treatment and he has remained in custody since

20.12.2023. It has further been submitted that in the present case after commitment, charges have been framed but till date no witnesses have been examined on behalf of the prosecution and hence, there is no likelihood of conclusion of trial in the near future.
