applied for appointment on the post of Block Teacher in the year
2008 and on the basis of the marks obtained in CTET

14.08.2010 in Middle School, Sahuriya. The mark-sheet of the
petitioner was sent for verification vide letter no. 2710 dated
09.12.2012. It is alleged that during course of verification, the
mark-sheet of the petitioner was found to be fabricated and was
found not be in consonance with the records of the concerned
institution.
4. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that
the petitioner is innocent and has not committed any offence. He
was appointed on the basis of the marks obtained by him in the
examination and the same was verified by the Block
Development Officer, Andhrathari, Madhubani vide his letter
no. 2710 dated 09.12.2012 and 02.01.2013. In response to his
above-mentioned letters, the Principal of Bharatiya Sharirik

petitioner was duly selected on the basis of the mark-sheet
submitted by him and has not committed any offence.
5. Per contra, the learned counsel appearing on behalf
of the Vigilance Investigation Bureau by referring to the letter
dated 06.05.2025, sent by the concerned college to the Police
Inspector-cum-Vigilance Investigation Bureau, Bihar, Patna
whereby it was informed that the mark-sheet of the petitioner
was found to be fabricated. In column no. 57 of the said letter,
which is Annexure-B to the counter affidavit, the details of the
petitioner has been given wherein it has been stated that as per
the original register of the Directorate of Sports and Youth
Service Maharashtra, Pune, the entry shows that he petitioner is
fail and the mark-sheet with Roll No. 392 forwarded by the
Vigilance Investigation Bureau as per reference letter was not
found to be consistent with the records and the same appears to
be fabricated.
6. Having heard the rival submissions of the parties
and after going through the records, it appears that despite
opportunity granted by the Hon’ble Division Bench of this
Court to such teachers to resign on their own, the petitioner
choose not to resign and he continued to draw the monetary
benefits as a teacher. The allegation against the petitioner
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.26066 of 2026(3) dt.06-05-2026
4/4
appears to be serious in nature and he did not resign on his own
despite opportunity granted to him by the virtue of the order of
the Hon’ble Division Bench and he continued to draw the
monetary benefits as a Block Teacher. Now, in 2025 it has been
found that his educational qualification was forged. Further
learned Co-ordinate bench vide order dated 18.01.2024 passed
in Cr. Misc. No. 78970 of 2023 (Sanjeev Kumar Raman vs. The
State of Bihar) has rejected the Anticipatory Bail petition.
Similar view was taken by a Co-ordinate bench vide order dated
27.02.2024 passed in Cr. Misc. No. 58684 pf 2023 (Punita Devi
vs. The State of Bihar & Ors.). The order dated 27.02.2024 has
been affirmed by the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India in SLP
(Crl.) No. 16221 of 2025 vide order dated 23.04.2026.
7. Considering the facts and circumstances of the
case, this Court is not inclined to grant the privilege of
anticipatory bail to the petitioner and accordingly the same is
rejected.
