As per the allegations, the informant has got acquaintance with the father of the applicant and both were working in WCL. In the month of April 2019, the applicant was working in Hindusthan Scout Guide, Maharashtra and intimated there is post of Guide trainer which is to be filled and if the daughter of the informant is interested, then he can state the further process. The informant inquired with the applicant regarding the job then he stated that the
(2) 43.aba.202.2025 person has to go to the various schools and has to teach the drills and physical activities to the school students. The applicant intimated for that purpose he has to pay Rs.8,00,000/- to the said society and obtain the money. The forged appointment letter was issued to the daughter of the informant, no salary is received by her and thus, the informant is duped by the present applicant.
3.
Heard learned Counsel for the applicant, who submitted that the appointment letter was issued, she served there. Thus, the question of cheating does not arise. He submitted that the FIR is rather delayed i.e. after six years. Thus, considering all these aspects, the applicant be released on anticipatory bail.
4.
Learned APP strongly opposed for the same and submitted that it was represented that she was appointed in the Scout and Guide, in fact, she never received any salary. The appointment letter was also forged one. Thus, considering that the applicant has obtained the amount of Rs.8,00,000/- from the informant by taking disadvantage of unemployment of his daughter and he was duped and therefore, custodial interrogation of the present applicant is required.
5.
After hearing both sides and on perusal of the investigation papers, it reveals that the amount is
(3) 43.aba.202.2025 obtained on promising the job to her in Hindusthan Scout and Guide. The appointment letter is on record. Whether the said appointment letter is issued by the concerned authority or it is a forged letter that investigation is yet to be carried out and further investigation the custodial interrogation of the present applicant is required. Considering the statements of the witnesses which are recorded. The account statement which is produced on record which shows that the daughter of the informant has not received a single penny towards the salary. If really she was appointed, there was no reason for depriving her from salary. Thus, the investigation as to the said appointment letter itself is yet to be carried out. In view of that, the custodial interrogation of the present applicant is required. Accordingly, I proceed to pass following order.
ORDER
