At the asking of the Court Mr. Neeraj Poswal, AAG, Haryana accepted notice. He states that he does not oppose the application. The application is allowed. Amended heading has been filed. CRM-M No. 44412 of 2017 This petition for regular bail has been filed by petitioner Karambir @ Karamvir Singh, an accused in F.I.R. No. 470 dated 24.12.2016 for offence under Sections 419, 465 IPC, 120-B IPC and Section 66(D) as well as Section 66-C of Information Technology Act, 2000, registered with Police Station Ambala Cantt.
Briefly stated the facts of the case as per the prosecution story are that during routine checking complainant Nitin Verma, Manager, IFFCO Tokyo General Insurance Company, Ambala Cantt. came to know that five policies had been issued on behalf of company without proper verification
of documents and by misusing and hacking Internet Portal Account of the agents of company by accused-petitioner Karamvir, who is also one of agent of company. Accused Karamvir had prepared policies in back dates after the accidents of vehicles in question. Premium for the same was also deposited by accused Karamvir from his own account instead of account of agents from whose portal the policies were issued. The company issued notices to the insured but they did not filed any reply or contacted complainant upon which such policies were canceled.
He had moved an application for grant of pre arrest bail which was dismissed by this Court vide order dated 25.7.2017. Thereafter he was arrested in this case on 9.10.2017. Challan against him has since been prepared and filed on 8.1.2018. Now he is seeking regular bail, notice of which was given to the State.
I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner, learned State counsel besides going through the record.
As submitted by the State counsel, the challan has been filed in the Court a few days earlier. The conclusion of trial is likely to take some time. The guilt of the accused shall be determined during the course of trial. Without going into the merits of the case, it is found proper and appropriate to grant benefit of regular bail to the petitioner. Therefore, the present petition is allowed. The petitioner is ordered to be released on bail on furnishing bail bond and surety bond to the satisfaction of the learned trial Court/CJM/Duty Magistrate, Ambala subject to the following conditions : - (i) He shall appear in the Court on each and every date of
hearing.
(ii) He shall not give any threat or intimidation to the prosecution witnesses.
(iii) He shall not leave India without prior permission of the Court.
In addition to that the trial Court may impose any term and condition found suitable to ensure that the petitioner does not abscond and interfere in the trial.
In case the petitioner violates any term and condition on which the bail has been granted to him, the prosecution would be entitled to apply for cancellation of bail.
