08.06.2022 tkm/ct 28 C.R.M. (A) 2433 of 2022 sl no.126 In Re : An application under section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure in connection with Nakashipara PS case no. 482/2020 dated 23.9.2020 under sections 420/406/419/467/471/120B of the IPC And In Re : Jayanta Choudhury & Anr.

........ petitioners Mr. T D Gupta ...... for the petitioners Mr. Arijit Ganguly Mr. S K Dan ...... for the State It is submitted on behalf of the petitioners that they were not named in the FIR.

Learned lawyer for the State opposes the prayer or anticipatory bail and submits that the petitioners are the members of an organized gang which dishonestly took money from aspiring youth on the false promise of giving government employment. We have considered materials on record. Allegations against the petitioners and other accused are very serious. Statements of witnesses disclose complicity of the petitioners in the organized racket of taking money on the false promise of giving government employment.

In view of the gravity of the offence and involvement of the petitioners therein, we are of the opinion that this is not a fit case to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners. Accordingly, the prayer for anticipatory bail is rejected. (Ananya Bandyopadhyay, J.) (Joymalya Bagchi, J.)
