Versus

State of Chhattisgarh, through District Magistrate, Bilaspur, C.G.

---Non-applicant For Applicant : Mr. Rakesh Sahu, Advocate For-Non-applicant : Mr. Dheeraj Wankhede, G.A. Hon'ble Shri Justice Sanjay K. Agrawal Order on Board 01/03/2016 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. 760/15, registered at Police Station Civil Line, Bilaspur, C.G., for the offence

punishable under Sections 420, 467, 468, 471 of I.P.C. 2.

Case of the prosecution, in brief, is that, applicant stood as a guarantor Raj Kumar Rajak in a criminal case by producing fake Rin Pustika (title deed) 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 the case. He would further submit that applicant is in jail since 02/12/2015 and no useful purpose would be served by keeping him in jail. He would lastly submit that charge sheet has been filed, therefore, he may be released on bail.

4.

On the other hand, learned State counsel would oppose the prayer for grant of bail.

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; and the

manner in which applicant stood as a guarantor by producing fake title deed, this Court is not inclined to release the applicant on regular bail.

7.

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

8.

Certified copy as per rules.
