The Applicant No.1 is a retired Junior Engineer, whereas the Applicant No.2 is still in service and is discharging his duty as a Deputy Engineer.
04.
One Laxman Ganpat Bhagat filed a private complaint against the present applicants and others.
According to the reply filed on behalf of the prosecuting agency, the sum and substance of the allegations against the accused persons is that in spite of the fact that the Accused No.1 was not having an agricultural land, the benefit under the "Prime Minister Package Scheme" was extended for digging up a well. From the reply itself, it is clear that the investigating agency has seized all the documents, including bills, the measurement book and various letters. In that view of the matter, in my view, the custodial presence of the present applicants is not required.
It is also not the case of the prosecution that the applicants will not be available to the course of justice or they will tamper to the prosecution case. In that view of the matter, I make the following order:
O R D E R
