P.C. :
1.
This is an application under Section 439 of Code of Criminal Procedure for bail.
2.
The applicant came to be arrested in Crime No.43 of 2019 registered at Palus police station, Sangli for the ofences punishable under Sections 420 read with 34 the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and Section 3 of Maharashtra Protection of Interest of Depositors Act, 1999 (MPID Act).

2/2 904-ba-157-22.doc this Court has released the applicant on bail in Crime No. 293 of 2019.
5.
The learned counsel for the applicant submits that the allegations against the present applicant in present crime and Crime No.293 of 2019 are identical.
6.
I have perused the order passed by this Court dated 20 November 2021 in Criminal Bail Application No. 3519 of 2019. The present applicant was granted bail by observing that there are no other criminal antecedents. Admittedly, the present crime was registered much prior to passing of the order by this Court dated 20 November 2021. The applicant therefore ought to have disclosed in his application that he is involved in one more crime. Even after passing of the order no such bona fdes are shown. I am, therefore, not inclined to entertain the present application. Accordingly, the Bail Application is rejected. [N.R.BORKAR, J.] Dinesh S. Sherla 2/2
