The petitioner is an accused in Samastipur Town P.S. Case No. 269 of 2018, registered for the offences punishable under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881 and Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.19079 of 2020(2) dt.09-04-2020 2/6 Sections 406, 420, 467, 468, 471 and 506 of the Indian Penal Code.

My attention has been drawn by Mr. Rakesh Chander Agrawal, learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner, to page 34 of the present application which is the written statement of the informant and the basis for registration of the First Information Report. It is alleged in the written statement that the informant runs a business in the name and style of Maa Vaishnav Galla Bhandar at Samastipur and deals in supply of mustard oil and other edible oils. The petitioner is the Director of S.B.O. Exports Private Limited, New Delhi. Certain supply was made by the informant to the Company for a sum of Rs.4,96,897/-. The petitioner, in his capacity as Director of the Company, had allegedly issued and delivered, at Samastipur, a cheque on 18.06.2018 in favour of the informant of the said amount of Rs.4,96,897/- for having delivered edible oils to the petitioner. The petitioner had requested the informant to present the cheque for encashment in July, 2018. Allegedly, when he presented the cheque, the same stood dishonoured because of insufficiency of fund in the account of the petitioner. There is statement made by the informant that on the petitioner's request, he had again deposited the cheque for encashment, which again Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.19079 of 2020(2) dt.09-04-2020 3/6 stood dishonoured for the same reason. Requisite statutory notice was issued to the petitioner for payment of the amount in question. The petitioner, however, did not pay the amount, which compelled the informant to lodge the First Information Report, the informant alleges.

No one appears on behalf of State as copy of the petition has not been served in the Office of Advocate General.

Learned counsel for the petitioner is directed to serve a copy of the regular bail petition in the Office of Advocate General through email i.e. advocategeneralbihar@gmail.com.

The single judge set aside the results of the main examination, with consequential directions to the BSSC to prepare fresh results of the Graduate Level Combined Examination-2010, in accordance with the directions of the Court in relation to deletion/modification of questions and answers as stipulated in the judgment. The aggrieved party appellants were not party to the writ proceedings, but had been declared selected in terms of the results first published, and subsequently were shown as not qualified under the revised results pursuant to the directions of the Court by the learned single judge.
