It is alleged that the petitioner who is a Constable in the Indian Reserve Battalion, impersonated Babulal Kumar to secure employment. 4. Submission has been advanced by learned counsel for the petitioner that the petitioner was successful in his selection in the Indian Reserve Battalion and after proper verification, he was given the appointment letter. 5. It has been submitted that the petitioner is working in the Indian Reserve Battalion since 25.06.2010 and he has an impeccable service record. 6. Learned counsel submits that merely on account of complaint made by one Pankaj Kumar, the identity of the petitioner has sought to be destabilized and it is alleged that the petitioner is one Babulal Kumar and not Rajkishore Yadav. 7. Learned Spl.P.P. for the State has opposed the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner. 8. It appears that after due verification, the petitioner was appointed in Indian Reserve Battalion and he is working for more than 15 years without any complaints. Certain materials have been collected which indicates that the petitioner is not Rajkishore Yadav but Babulal Kumar. 9. However, considering the fact that the petitioner was employed after successfully completing the verification process and he is in service for more than 15 years, I am inclined to extend the privilege of anticipatory bail to the petitioner.
