Hon'ble Shri Justice Sanjay K. Agrawal Order On Board 22/02/2016

1. The accused/applicant has moved this bail application under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 for releasing him on regular bail during trial in connection with Crime No.360/2014, registered at Police Station Bodhghat, Distt. Bastar, for the offence punishable under Sections 467, 468, 471, 472, 419, 420, 409, 119, 182, 211, 120B read with Section 34 of the IPC; Sections 66B, 66C and 66D of the Information Technology Act, 2000.

2. Case of the prosecution, in brief, is that the applicant along with other co-accused by forged documents and bills, withdrawn Rs.1,38,86,538/- and thereby committed the offence.

3. Learned counsel for the applicant would submit that the applicant has not committed any offence and he has been falsely implicated in the case, he was only the employee of co-accused Pankaj Kela who had complete control over the entire amount and the transaction in

question. The applicant has no role to play in the offence in question. The applicant is in jail since 3-7-2015. Charge-sheet has been filed and no custodial interrogation of the applicant is required.

4. On the other hand, learned State counsel would oppose the application.

5. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the case diary.

6. Taking into consideration the nature and gravity of offence, facts and circumstances of the case, role of the present applicant and the manner in which huge public money has been siphoned away, I am not inclined to grant bail to the applicant. The application is, therefore, rejected.
