HIGH COURT OF CHHATTISGARH, BILASPUR Order Sheet MCRC No. 5289 of 2017 • Nahush Das Jangde S/o Late Motilal, Aged About 59 Years R/o Village Bhatgaon, Tahsil Pathariya, District Mungeli (Chhattisgarh). --- Petitioner

Versus

• State of Chhattisgarh through Station House Officer, Police Station City Kotwali, Mungeli, District Mungeli (Chhattisgarh). --- Respondent 16.08.2017 Mr. Raghavendra Pradhan, counsel for the applicant.

Mr. Sangharsh Pandey, Panel Lawyer, for the State. This is second bail application filed under section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure seeking grant of regular bail to the applicant in connection with Crime No.413 of 2016 registered at City Kotwali, Mungeli, Distt. Mungeli (CG) for the offence punishable under Sections 420, 34, 467, 468, 469, 473 & 120-B of IPC.

The first bail application was dismissed on 11.01.2017.

As per the prosecution case, one Sukumar Banjara lodged a report on 27.08.2016 that co-accused Rajesh Masih Gajanand Kurre have taken huge amount for providing job to the son of complainant. Subsequently other persons namely Meghraj, Sudhir Tamboli & Rameshwar also came forward and stated that they have also paid certain amounts to the present applicant and they were assured by the present applicant and others that they will be provided job and thereafter forged appointment letters were issued, thereby the applicant with the connivance of other accused Rajesh Masih and Gajanand have committed fraud.

Learned counsel for the applicant submits that one Sudhir Tamboli has been examined and he has not supported the case of prosecution.

Per contra, learned State Counsel opposes the bail application.

A perusal of the case diary would show that apart from Sudhir Tamboli, the applicant had also collected amounts from different persons. Considering the same, I am not inclined to release the applicant on bail. Accordingly, the bail application is rejected. The trial Court is, however, requested to expedite the trial.
