HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE R.K.GAUBA

O R D E R

% 27.02.2019 In the pending investigation into first information report no. 593/2016 registered by police station Janak Puri involving offences punishable under Sections 406/420/467/468/471/120B IPC, role is attributed to the petitioner, he being one of the several persons who had applied for loan from Syndicate Bank stattedly at the instance of Rohit Bhuttan @ Rajan Sharma, ostensibly for purchase of motor vehicle, the documents filed therewith being forged and fabricated.

It is not disputed by the counsel for the petitioner that petitioner had applied for such loan and that no vehicle was actually purchased, it being the explanation that the money was passed on to Rohit Bhuttan. The petitioner has been evading joining investigation. It is pointed out in the status report that he is also involved in several other similarly placed cases of forgery and cheating qua financial institutions, reference BAIL APPLN. 425/2019

being made to case FIR nos. 537/2016 under Sections 420/468/471/120B/34 IPC; 593/2016 under Sections 420/468/471/120B/34 IPC and 589/2016 under Sections 420/468/471/120B/34 IPC.

In the above facts and circumstances, it is not a case where it can be said that the allegations under investigation against the petitioner are unfounded.

The court agrees with the submission of the investigating agency that custodial interrogation would be required. The prayer for anticipatory bail is, thus, declined.

The petition and the applications filed therewith are dismissed. R.K.GAUBA, J FEBRUARY 27, 2019 nk BAIL APPLN. 425/2019
