: RAJESH S. PATIL, J.

DATED : 30 JANUARY 2025 P.C.:

1.

The Applicant is seeking anticipatory bail in connection with the F.I.R. No.0537 of 2024 registered at Dighi Police Station, District Pimpri Chinchwad under Sections 318 (4), 336 (2), 336 (3), 337, 340 (2) and 3

(5) of the Bhartiya Nyay Sanhita, 2023.

2.

It is the case of the prosecution that while the police were

verifying online documents related to Tata Communication, Dighi, for the appointment of certain employees after obtaining Police Clearance Certificates, they discovered certain deficiencies. As a result, the police conducted an inquiry, which revealed that some documents had been fabricated, leading to the issuance of the Police Clearance Certificates. It was found that the present Applicant, along with one Sunil Rokade, is service provider assisting individuals in obtaining document clearance for employment at Tata Communication.

3.

The learned Advocate for the Applicant submits that the applicant has not caused any kind of wrongful loss to any individual or the Government. Neither has he gained by issuing Police Clearance Certificate to those in need and charging only a paltry sum for the service. He further submits that there is no case where any person has suffered a loss due to this act. He further submits that since he was dealing with multiple peoples for obtaining Police Clearance Certificates, the documents of certain employees got mixed up with those of others. However, merely because the addresses of certain employees did not match, it does not imply that he was engaged in any activity to support illegal migrants. Hence, he submits that the police have not called him even once to record his statement.

4.

Stand over to 7 February 2025, the matter to come up under the caption of "Urgent Circulation".

5.

In the meanwhile, no coercive steps will be taken against the Applicant.

6.

The Applicant to also attend the concerned police station on 1 February 2025 between 11.00 a.m. to 1.00 p.m. (RAJESH S. PATIL, J.)
