---- Applicant

Versus

• State Of Chhattisgarh Through Station House Officer, Police Station Bilha, District Bilaspur Chhattisgarh ---- Respondent For Applicant : Shri Amit Singh Chauhan, Advocate For Respondent/State : Shri Samir Sharma, Dy.GA Hon'ble Smt. Justice Rajani Dubey Order On Board 07/11/2019 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.147/2019 registered at police station Bilha, District Bilaspur (CG) for the offence punishable under Sections 294,420 and 506 IPC.

Case of the prosecution in brief is that the applicant introduced himself as Insurance Agent and took Rs. 90,000/- in total from the complainants for providing loan from the bank and thereafter denied to pay back the amount.

Counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant has been falsely implicated in the crime and he is in jail since 17.06.2019. He

submits that the offence is triable by Magistrate First Class and looking to the conduct of the prosecution it is clear that the trial will take time for its conclusion and 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.25,000/- with one surety for the like sum to the satisfaction of the concerned Court, he shall be released on bail.
