    Order

    Court Decision Summary The District Court of Nalanda, Bihar rejected the anticipatory bail application of Sarita Devi in a case involving charges under IPC Sections 406 (criminal breach of trust) and 420 (cheating). The court found clear evidence that Sarita Devi, the former Sarpanch, was primarily involved in misappropriating government funds transferred to village panchayat ward accounts, with ward members and other officials also implicated in the embezzlement scheme. Given her substantial involvement in the alleged irregularities and risk of arrest, the court deemed it inappropriate to grant anticipatory bail. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
