------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hon'ble Shri Justice Rajendra Chandra Singh Samant Order On Board 17/04/2018

1. This is the first bail application filed under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 for grant of regular bail to the applicant who has been arrested in connection with Crime No.28/2017, registered at Police Station- Purani Basti, District - Raipur(C.G.) for the offence punishable under Sections 420, 467 & 468 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 66D of I.T. Act.

2. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant has falsely been implicated in this case. Applicant is in jail since 7.5.2017. After completion of investigation, charge-sheet has been filed. The case is against the applicant is triable by Judicial Magistrate First Class and he is ready to abide by all the conditions and direction, which may be imposed while granting bail to him. Hence, it is prayed that applicant

Page No.2 be enlarged on regular bail.

3. Learned State counsel opposes the bail application and submissions made in this respect. It is submitted that prima facie case is made out against the applicant for his prosecution. Hence, no case is made out for grant of bail.

4. Heard both the parties and perused the case diary.

5. The allegation against this applicant is that he created a forged website of State Bank of India and gave inducement to the 9 complainants that he can make arrangement for their appointment to the post of Customer Friend Officer and Peon in State Bank and on being induced all the complainants gave Rs.9 lakhs to the applicant in December, 2014. Subsequent to that as none of the complainant was appointed to any job, they asked for refund and the applicant could not make any refund, hence, FIR was lodged on 31.1.2017.

6. Considered on the entire material present in the case diary, presently the case is before the trial Court and the trial against the applicant is likely to take some time for its conclusion. No purpose would be served to keep the applicant in detention till the conclusion of trial, hence, for this reason, I am inclined to grant regular bail to the applicant.

7. Accordingly, the bail application filed under Section 439 of Cr.P.C. is allowed. It is directed that the applicant shall be released on bail on his furnishing a personal bond for a sum of Rs.25,000/- with one surety in the like sum to the satisfaction of the concerned Court, for his appearance as and when directed.
