¶1Heard Sri Katyain Mishra, holding brief of Sri Anuj Pandey, the learned counsel for the applicant as well as Sri Rakesh Kumar Singh, the learned Additional Government Advocate appearing on behalf of the State and perused the records.

¶2The instant application has been filed by the applicant seeking anticipatory bail in F.I.R. bearing Case Crime No.0143 of 2023, under Sections 419, 420, 467, 468, 471 I.P.C., registered at Police Station Kotwali Nagar, District Balrampur.

¶3The aforesaid case has been registered on the basis of an F.I.R. lodged on 14.05.2023 alleging that the informant had secured appointment on the post of Assistant Teacher (Biology) in an intermediate college but upon verification, the appointment order was found to be fake.

¶4In the affidavit filed in support of the application, it has been stated that the applicant is innocent, he has falsely been implicated in the present case and he has no criminal history.

¶5Learned counsel for applicant has submitted that the applicant has assailed validity of the order dated 11.03.2023 by filing Writ-A No.4566 of 2023, however, no interim relief has been granted to the applicant in that writ petition.

¶6Having considered the nature of allegations levelled against the applicant, I am of the view that the applicant does not deserve to be entitled pre-arrest bail without prejudice.

¶6Accordingly, the anticipatory bail is rejected. Order Date :- 8.11.2023 Renu/- High Court of Judicature at Allahabad, Lucknow Bench
