Bhatapara (C.G.) for the offence punishable under Sections 318(4),

2. The case of the prosecution, is that the complainant Rameshwar
Kumar Kashyap made a complaint alleging that he along with two other
had given Rs.22,00,000/- to Ramnarayan Sahu, Devnarayan Sahu,
Bhavneshwar Sahu, Ranu Sahu for investment in share trading. It has

in two years. It has also been alleged that the said amount was
deposited in the account of Devnarayan Sahu through net banking on
several occasions. That thereafter First Information Report was lodged.
Hence, this application.

persons have been granted bail by this Court vide order dated

13.07.2025 and trial is likely to take quite long time for its conclusion,
therefore, he prays for grant of bail.
4. On the other hand, the learned State counsel opposes the bail
application and submits that there are a total of 4 criminal antecedents
of the applicant, the charge-sheet has been filed in this case, and the
applicant is not entitled for grant of bail.
5. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused all of the
documents available on record.
6. Taking into consideration the facts and circumstances of the case,
nature and gravity of allegation levelled against the applicant and the
fact that there are a total of 4 criminal antecedents of the applicant,
