NAFR HIGH COURT OF CHHATTISGARH, BILASPUR M.CR.C. No. 4044 of 2018 Amar Verma, S/o. Balmukund, Aged About 32 Years, R/o. Daihan, Police Station Mohar, Tahsil Dongargarh, District -Rajnandgaon Chhattisgarh. ---- Applicant

Versus

State Of Chhattisgarh, Through : Station House Officer, Police Station Chhawani, Bhilai, District Durg Chhattisgarh. ---- Respondent For Applicant : Mrs. Indira Tripathi, Advocate For State/respondent : Mr. Anupam Dubey, Panel Lawyer Hon'ble Shri Justice Rajendra Chandra Singh Samant Order On Board 19/06/2018 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.580/2017, registered at Police Station - Chhawani, Bhilai, District - Durg (C.G.), for the offence punishable under Section 420 of the Indian Penal Code. 2.

It is submitted by the learned counsel for the applicant that the applicant has been falsely implicated in this case. In-fact the applicant had borrowed money from the concerned complainant, which he could not pay back, because of which false FIR has been lodged, which is reflected from the documents of the prosecution case itself, hence, it is prayed that the applicant be granted regular bail. 3.

On the other hand, learned counsel for the State opposes the bail application and the submission made in this respect. It is submitted that this applicant has cheated seven persons on the pretext that he has connections which he can use in getting the concerned complainant and others for getting appointed in the government job in

ministry at Raipur and collected Rs.13,42,000/-, hence, it is an offence of big magnitude because of which he should not be released on bail. 4.

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

5.

The allegation against this applicant is this that he represented that he has connection in ministry at Raipur and he can arrange for government job and can get appointed the complainant and others, getting induced the complainant Doman Lal Sahu and six other paid him an amount of Rs.13,42,000/- by way of illegal gratification for getting them appointed in the government job. Later on it was discovered that the applicant has cheated them, then the FIR has been lodged.

6.

Considered on the submissions made and the contents of the case diary. To save the interest of the complainant and others, who have paid huge amount to this applicant, I am inclined to grant bail to this applicant on temporary basis.

7.

Hence, this application is allowed for a period of six months and it is directed that the applicant shall be released on bail on his 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 the meanwhile, if the, applicant makes refund of the amount received from the complainant and others, he shall have liberty to move an application to make this bail order absolute. Certified copy as per rules.
