P.C.

1.

Heard learned counsel for the applicant and learned APP for the Respondent - State.

2. By this application, the Applicant seeks pre-arrest bail, in connection with C.R. No. 14 of 2015 registered with the Agripada Police Station, for the alleged offences punishable under Sections 406, 420, r/w 34 of the Indian Penal Code.

2/3 3.

Learned Counsel for the applicant submits that according to the prosecution, one Dr.Shivnanda Lavand had accepted money from the complainant, by assuring an M.B.B.S. seat for her daughter, in a city based Government Medical College. It is alleged that the said Dr.Lavand told the complainant that she had given some money to the present applicant and accordingly when the complainant, Dr. Lavand and others went to the applicant's house, the applicant is alleged to have agreed that some amount was given to him by Dr.Lavand and that he would return the said amount to Dr.Lavand, very soon.

4.

Learned Counsel for the applicant contended that the present applicant has no concern with the same, as the money was given to Dr. Lavand, and not to the present applicant.

5.

Learned APP opposed the bail application. She relied on the statements of some of the witnesses, who have stated that some amounts were paid to the applicant. She also contended that there are 3 CR's registered against the present applicant, which are similar in nature. 6.

Considering the nature of allegations and the statements of the

3/3 witnesses, the custodial interrogation of the applicant is necessary. Hence, the Application is rejected and disposed of as such. 7.

If an application seeking regular bail, is filed the same shall be decided on its own merits, in accordance with law, uninfluenced by the observations made herein.
