Versus

The State of Chhattisgarh, Through: the Police Station Urga, Civil and Revenue District Korba (C.G.) ---Non-applicant For Applicant :

Mr. P.P. Sahu, Advocate For-Non-applicant :

Mr. Adhiraj Surana, Dy. G.A.

Hon'ble Shri Justice Sanjay K. Agrawal Order on Board 10/02/2016 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. 355/2015, registered at Police Station Urga, District Korba (C.G.), for the offence punishable under Sections 420, 467, 468, 471, 120-B, 34

of Indian Penal Code.

2.

Case of the prosecution, in brief, is that, applicant along with co-accused obtained Rs. 4,50,000/- from Chandraram Sonwani to get his son employed in the SECL and thereby committed aforesaid offence. 3.

Learned counsel for the applicant would submit that applicant has not committed any offence and has been falsely implicated in crime in question. He would further submit that neither applicant obtained any money from the Chandraram Sonwani nor promised to secure employment in the SECL. He would further submit that substantive investigation has been done and no useful purpose would be served by keeping him in jail. He would lastly submit that applicant is in jail since 12/12/2015, therefore, he may be released on bail.

4.

On the other hand, learned State counsel would oppose the prayer for grant of bail and submit that applicant has obtained Rs. 2,00,000/- from the complainant promising for employment.

5.

I have heard learned counsel appearing for the

parties and perused the case diary.

6.

Taking into consideration the facts and circumstances of the case; further taking into consideration the nature and gravity of offence; role of the applicant and the receipt of the amount by the present applicant, I am not inclined to release the applicant on regular bail.

7.

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