Versus

• State Of Chhattisgarh Through Station House Officer, Police Station Sarkanda, District Bilaspur (Chhattisgarh) ---- Respondent For Applicant : Shri C.R.Sahu, Advocate For Respondent/State : Shri Praveen Shrivastava, PL Hon'ble Smt. Justice Rajani Dubey Order On Board 16/12/2021 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. 783/2021 registered at police station Srkanda District Bilaspur (CG) for the offence punishable under Section 420 IPC and Section 66(D) of the Information & Technology Act.

As per prosecution case, the applicant has withdrawn amount of Rs. 52,93,699/- from the bank account of the complainant fraudulently by means of using computer resource.

Counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant has been falsely implicated in the case. He submits that the applicant is in jail

since 21.08.2021; charge sheet has been filed and looking to the conduct of the prosecution it is clear that the trial will take time for its conclusion, therefore he may be released on bail. 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. 50,000/- with one lcoal surety for the like sum to the satisfaction of the concerned Court, he shall be released on bail.
