---- Applicant

Versus

• State Of Chhattisgarh Through Station House Officer, Police Station Nevra, District- Raipur, Chhattisgarh. ---- Respondent For Applicant : Ms. Sunita Sahu, Advocate For Respondent/State : Shri Anurag Verma, PL Hon'ble Smt. Justice Rajani Dubey Order On Board 05/11/2019 The applicant has filed this application under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure for grant of regular bail as he is in custody in connection with Crime No.224/2019 registered at police station Nevra, District Raipur (CG) for the offence punishable under Section 420 IPC.

As per prosecution case, it is alleged that the applicant who is working under the Education Department has obtained amount of Rs. 9,91,000/- by cheating the complainants for providing them job. Counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant is in jail since 20.02.19. She further submits that the offences alleged against the applicant are triable by the Magistrate; the charge sheet has

already been filed and looking to the conduct of the prosecution it is clear that the trial will take time for its conclusion. On the other hand counsel for the State opposes the bail application.

Having heard counsel for the parties, considered the totality of the fact, in particular the detention period of the applicant, I am inclined to release him on regular bail. Accordingly, his application filed under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure is allowed. It is directed that in the event of the applicant's furnishing a personal bond in the sum of Rs. 25,000/- with one surety for the like sum to the satisfaction of the concerned Court, he shall be released on bail.
