ORDER

10.07.2018 Heard.

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. 790 of 2018, registered at Police Station Nawagarh, District Bemetara, Chhattisgarh for the offence punishable under Sections 419, 420, 467, 468 and 471/ 34 of the Indian Penal Code.

2.

Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant is in jail since 06.01.2018 and has been falsely implicated in this case. After completion of investigation, the charge-sheet has been filed. The trial of the case is likely to take some time for its final disposal. Similarly placed coaccused persons, namely, Tilak Ram Ratre, Prakash Chandra Dhruwe and

Sunit Yadav have been granted bail by this Court in M.Cr.C. Nos. 3040 of 2018, 3171 of 2018 and 3290 of 2018, vide order dated 08.05.2018. Hence, it is prayed that the applicant be enlarged on bail. 3.

On the other hand, learned counsels for the State oppose the bail application and the submissions made in this respect. It is submitted that the applicant is the main beneficiary in this case. Hence, no case is made out for grant of regular bail to the applicant.

4.

Heard counsel for both the parties and perused the case diary. 5.

According to the prosecution case, on advice given by co-accused - Tilak Ram Ratre, the applicant made use of forged revenue papers showing himself as land owner which in reality belongs to complainant - Amardas Banjare and obtained loan from UCO Bank twice, which he has not repaid so far. Hence, this case.

6.

Considering the material present in the case-diary and taking into consideration the fact that similarly placed co-accused persons have been granted regular bail by this Court, I feel inclined to grant regular bail to the applicant.

7.

Accordingly, the bail application filed under Section 439 of the Cr.P.C. is allowed.

8.

It is directed that applicant shall be released on bail on furnishing a personal bond in the sum of Rs.25,000/- with one surety in the like sum to

the satisfaction of the concerned trial Court, for his appearance as and when directed. In case any default is committed by the applicant/s in appearing before the concerned trial Court, this order granting bail shall stand cancelled automatically.
