It is alleged by the applicant / accused that he is innocent
and falsely implicated in the present case. The accused is arrested on
03.10.2023. He has undergone custodial interrogation. He has no
criminal antecedent. The charge sheet is filed. Investigation is
completed. Therefore, there is no point in keeping accused behind bars.
He is permanent resident of his given address therefore, the applicant /
accused prayed for releasing him on bail.
3.

The prosecution opposed the application by filing reply
vide Exh.2. It is the contention of the prosecution that if accused is
released on bail it will affect the collection of evidence. If accused is
released on bail there are chances of flee away from justice. If accused
is released on bail there are chances of threatening of prosecution
witnesses and tampering of prosecution evidence. Hence, prosecution
prayed for rejection of the application.

the ld. Advocate for the applicant, ld. APP for the respondent / State.

I have gone through the documents on record. It is the case
of the prosecution that the report has been lodged against the accused
that the accused induced the informant and witnesses to obtain credit
cards or to obtain the home loan and thereafter by forged documents,
misused the valuable documents of the informant and the witnesses and
thereby deceived them. The applicant / accused was arrested on
03.10.2023. There is serious case of forgery of the valuable documents.
There is cheating with the informant and the witnesses for the purpose
3

of obtaining loan or credit card. There is fabrication of government
documents. These documents were produced before the bank for
obtaining loan. Mobile Sim cards were obtained in the name of the
customers. They were retained by the accused with them. The accused
were communicating with the banks with the use of such Sim cards. By
the use of credit cards of the customers, the accused have withdrawn
certain amount. Near about 300 credit cards were obtained.

It is alleged that the informant Santosh Jadhav was duped
for Rs.4,49,986/-. During the investigation it was revealed that the
accused have cheated near about 20 persons. Said fraud is of
Rs.87,91,000/-. It is alleged that the present applicant / accused is the

was arrested on 03.10.2023. Since more than five months he is behind

punishable
u/Sec.419,420,465,467,468,471 of IPC. The trial will take its own time
to conclude it on merit. No recovery is pending. Further incarceration is
un-warranted. If reasonable conditions securing presence of accused are
imposed, he will be entitled for the bail. Hence, considering the facts on
record and also considering the ground of parity, the accused is entitled
for the bail. In the result, I pass the following order :
