Versus

• State Of Chhattisgarh Through- District Magistrate, District- Durg, Chhattisgarh.

---- Respondent For Applicant : Shri Ashutosh Mishra, Advocate For Respondent : Smt. M.Asha, PL Hon'ble Smt. Justice Rajani Dubey Order On Board 27/10/2018 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. 152/2017 registered at police station Utai, District Durg (CG) for the offence punishable under Section 420,34 IPC. As per prosecution case, report was lodged by the complainant Dev Narayan Khewar that the present applicant along with co-accused had asked him to give Rs. 6,00,000/- for providing a government job to him. Counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant is innocent and he has been falsely implicated. He submits that the applicant is in jail since 17.05.17 and the trial will take time for final disposal and therefore he may be released on bail.

On the other hand, learned counsel for the State opposes the bail

application.

Considering the totality of the facts and circumstances of the case, in particular the nature of allegations against the applicant, I am inclined to release him on 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 furnishing a personal bond of Rs. 25,000/- with one surety in the like sum to the satisfaction of the concerned court for his appearance before it as and when directed, he shall be released on bail.
