But no joining was given and despite assurance, the petitioner did not return the money and the cheques issued to some of the candidates were dishonoured.

CRM-M-14701-2019 (O & M) -2Learned counsel for the petitioner contends that the petitioner has been falsely implicated in the case. He further contends that the investigation of the case is complete and nothing has been recovered from the petitioner. He also contends that all the co-accused of the petitioner have been granted the concession of bail. He further contends that the trial is likely to take a long time to conclude.

On the other hand, learned State counsel assisted by SI Devender has opposed the bail application on the ground that the petitioner had cheated the complainant and others of about `45 lacs on the pretext of getting them jobs in Railways. However, it is not disputed that co-accused of the petitioner have already been granted the concession of bail. Considering the fact that the investigation of the case is complete and the offences are triable by Magistrate, further detention of the petitioner may not be justified. Therefore, without meaning any expression on the merits of the case, the petition is allowed and the petitioner is ordered to be released on regular bail subject to his furnishing requisite bail bonds/surety bonds to the satisfaction of the trial Court concerned. The petition is allowed.
