Criminal Misc. No. M-41829 of 2017 -2this withdrawal of the amount.

The contentions of the counsel for the petitioner are that the petitioner is behind the bars since 8.9.2016 and there is no semblance of evidence to connect with the commission of offence and that the petitioner was only instrumental in filling the form. The same is sought to be opposed by the learned State counsel in view of the fact that previous bail applications have already been declined and that the petitioner being axis on which the entire fraud is revolves does not entitles the concession of bail. Appreciating the submissions of both sides, this Court has dismissed earlier the bail applications of the petitioner twice. Mr. Dadwal could not convince or bring to the notice of the Court any fresh ground that has come for allowing the bail. In view of the seriousness of the allegations and heinousness of offence, no case for grant of bail is made out. The same is dismissed.
