% 17.04.2017 The present bail application under Section 439 read with Section 436A read with Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (Cr.P.C.) has been filed by the applicant for grant of regular bail in a case arising out of FIR No.84/2011 registered under Sections 406/409/419/420/467/468/471/120-B/34 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and Sections 3, 4, 5 of Prize, Chits, Money Circulatoin (Banning) Act, by Police Station Moti Nagar, New Delhi. The facts as emerging from the records, are that a complaint was lodged by Mr.Sunil Kumar, alleging that the applicant had
cheated him to the tune of Rs.15,00,000/- on the pretext of giving twenty per cent fixed returns on investment by trading in stock market and misappropriated the same and not returned his and his family amount.
It appears from the records that the first bail application of the applicant was dismissed on 13th August, 2014 by the learned Additional Sessions Judge (West), Tis Hazari Courts, Delhi. Thereafter, the applicant had moved another bail application which was dismissed on 13th August, 2014 by the learned Additional Sessions Judge (West), Tis Hazari Courts, Delhi. The applicant had moved third bail application which was also dismissed on 10th November, 2015 by the learned Additional Sessions Judge (West), Tis Hazari Courts, Delhi.
The grouse of the applicant is that there may be number of FIRs against him but the trial has not proceeded with and that he has been languishing behind the bar since 2011.
In the facts and circumstances of the present case, this court is of the considered opinion that keeping in view the pendency of the present matter particularly the applicant being behind the bar since
2011, the Trial Court is directed to expedite the trial and dispose of the matter as soon as possible.
With the above observation, the present bail application and Crl.M.A. No.3214/2017 are disposed of.
Let copy of this order be sent forthwith to the concerned Trial Court.
