               Dated this the 2nd day of December, 2025

                              COMMON ORDER

These are applications seeking regular bail, filed under Section

483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), 2023.

2. The petitioner is common in all these cases. She is

accused No.4 in Crime No.1148 of 2024, accused No.5 in Crime

Nos.1170 of 2024, 1503 of 2024 and 1165 of 2024, and accused

No.2 in Crime No.928 of 2024 respectively. All the crimes have been

registered by the Chingavanam Police Station, Kottayam for the

offences punishable under Sections 406 and 420 r/w Section 34 of

the Indian Penal Code and Sections 21 and 23 of the Banning of

Unregulated Deposit Schemes Act (BUDS Act), 2019.

3. The prosecution case is as follows :-

The petitioner, along with her husband (A1 - A.J.Sajith), two

sons, Abhijith S. and Abhishek S. and the mother of A1, who were

partners of the firm named M/s Kelamangalam Financiers and

Investors, accepted unregulated deposits from the additional second

respondents/defacto complainants. Hundreds of persons including B.A.No.13623 of 2025 and connected cases

2025:KER:91700

the defacto complainants made deposits believing the promise that

exorbitant rates of interest would be paid. The petitioner and the

other accused, in furtherance of a criminal conspiracy, committed

fraudulent default by failing to repay the principal amount and the

promised interest. They obtained wrongful gain to the tune of Crores

of rupees, causing wrongful loss to the defacto complainants and

other members of the public.

4. The petitioner voluntarily appeared before the

Investigating Officer on 10.02.2025 in connection with Crime

No.1170 of 2024. She was released on bail on the same day by the

Investigating Officer. Thereafter, the petitioner again appeared

before the Investigating Officer on 17.02.2025, 24.02.2025,

03.03.2025 and 10.03.2025. She was interrogated by the

Investigating Officer.

5. The petitioner had earlier filed Bail Application Nos.912,

914, 916, 918, 919, 920 and connected cases seeking anticipatory

bail before this Court. By a common order dated 04.02.2025, the

bail applications were allowed granting pre-arrest bail to the

petitioner. Pursuant to the said order, the petitioner appeared

before the Investigating Officer and she was released on bail on the

same day.

B.A.No.13623 of 2025 and connected cases

2025:KER:91700

6. Challenging the grant of pre-arrest bail to the petitioner,

the defacto complainants filed Special Leave Petition (Crl.) Nos.6677,

6678, 6679, 6680 and 6681 of 2025 before the Hon'ble Supreme

Court. The Supreme Court, by order dated 13.10.2025, cancelled

the pre-arrest protection granted to the petitioner.

7. Pursuant to the order of the Hon'ble Supreme Court, the

petitioner surrendered before the Investigating Officer on

22.10.2025. She filed Crl.M.C. Nos.1435/2025, 1436/2025,

1437/2025, 1438/2025 and 1439/2025 seeking regular bail before

the Designated Court under the BUDS Act along with an application

for interim bail. The Designated Court dismissed the bail

applications and remanded her to judicial custody.

8. She has been in judicial custody since 22.10.2025.

9. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner, the learned

Public Prosecutor and the learned counsel for the defacto

complainants.

10. The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the

petitioner is innocent of the allegations levelled against her and she

has been falsely implicated in the crime. It is submitted that she is

fully co-operating with the investigation. The learned counsel

submitted that the petitioner has no direct connection to the B.A.No.13623 of 2025 and connected cases

2025:KER:91700

offences alleged. It is further submitted that the pre-arrest

protection granted to the petitioner in the remaining 26 crimes was

not challenged by the State or the defacto complainants.

11. The learned counsel for the additional 2 nd respondent/

defacto complainants challenged the applications seeking regular

bail on the ground that recovery of ornaments allegedly

misappropriated by the petitioner is to be effected. It is submitted

that the offences alleged are very grave in nature. It is further

submitted that the conduct of the petitioner after getting

anticipatory bail was improper.

12. The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the bail

applications. The learned Public Prosecutor submitted that some

other accused are yet to be arrested. The learned Public Prosecutor

further submitted that investigation is almost in the final stage.

13. I have gone through the Case Diary.

14. The apprehension of the prosecution and the defacto

complainants is that the petitioner will abscond. The prosecution

has no case that the petitioner is not co-operating with the

investigation. The petitioner made an undertaking that she will not

leave the territorial limits of Kottayam Revenue District. The B.A.No.13623 of 2025 and connected cases

2025:KER:91700

petitioner is prepared to appear before the Investigating Officer as

and when required.

15. The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the

petitioner has already surrendered her passport before the

jurisdictional court.

16. The principle that bail is the rule and jail is the exception

has been well recognised by judicial pronouncements. This is the

principle underlined in Article 21 of the Constitution of India.

17. There cannot be an inexorable formula in the matter of

granting bail. The facts and circumstances of each case will govern

the exercise of judicial discretion in granting or cancelling bail. [Vide:

Gurcharan Singh v. State (Delhi Admn.) [(1978) 1 SCC 118].

18. The issue of bail is one of liberty, justice, public safety

and burden of the public treasury, all of which insist that a

developed jurisprudence of bail is integral to a socially sensitised

judicial process. Personal liberty, deprived when bail is refused, is

too precious a value of our constitutional system recognised under

Article 21 that the curial power to negate it is a great trust

exercisable, not casually but judicially, with lively concern for the

cost to the individual and the community. After all, personal liberty

of an accused or convict is fundamental, suffering lawful eclipse only B.A.No.13623 of 2025 and connected cases

2025:KER:91700

in terms of "procedure established by law" [Vide: Gudikanti

Narasimhulu v. State [(1978) 1 SCC 240].

19. In bail applications, generally, it has been laid down from

the earliest times that the object of bail is to secure the appearance

of the accused person at his trial by reasonable amount of bail. The

object of bail is neither punitive nor preventative. Deprivation of

liberty must be considered a punishment, unless it is required to

ensure that an accused person will stand his trial when called upon.

The courts owe more than verbal respect to the principle that

punishment begins after conviction, and that every man is deemed

to be innocent until duly tried and duly found guilty [Vide: Sanjay

Chandra v. CBI [(2012) 1 SCC 40].

20. Having considered the entire circumstances, including

the stage of the investigation and the tenure of judicial custody

undergone by the petitioner on the touchstone of the principles

discussed above, I find that the petitioner is entitled to be released

on bail on conditions.

In the result, the Bail Application is allowed as follows :-

(a) The petitioner is ordered to be released on bail on her

executing bond for Rs.10,00,000/- (Rupees Ten Lakhs B.A.No.13623 of 2025 and connected cases

2025:KER:91700

only) with two solvent sureties each for the like sum

to the satisfaction of the jurisdictional court.

(b) The petitioner shall appear before the Investigating

Officer on all Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays

between 10 A.M. and 11 A.M., until further orders.

(c) The petitioner shall not leave the territorial limits of

Kottayam District without the permission of the

jurisdictional court.

(d) The jurisdictional court shall not release her passport

without the permission of this Court.

(e) The petitioner shall not maintain contact with any of

the persons acquainted with the facts of the cases.

(f) The petitioner shall not try to influence the

prosecution witnesses or attempt to tamper with the

evidence.

(g) The petitioner shall not commit any other offence

while on bail.

(h) The petitioner shall fully co-operate with the

investigation.

B.A.No.13623 of 2025 and connected cases

2025:KER:91700

(i) If any of the bail conditions are violated by the

petitioner, the jurisdictional Court will be at liberty to

cancel the bail, in accordance with law.
