Shri Harshit Sharma, learned counsel for the applicant.
Shri Kuldeep Singh, learned Public Prosecutor for the
respondent/State.
Shri Sankalp Sharma, learned counsel for complainant.
The applicant has filed this first bail application u/S.438,
Cr.P.C. for grant of bail. Applicant is apprehending his arrest in
respect of registration of Complaint Case at R.C.T. No.676/2021
pending before learned JMFC, Ambah, District Morena in
relation to the offence punishable under Sections 465, 474, 120-B
of IPC.
It is the submission of learned counsel for the applicant that
applicant is a former Secretary of Gram Panchayat, Rajoda and is
apprehending his arrest on the basis of issuance of arrest warrant
in the private complaint at the instance of respondent
No.2/complainant for alleged offence under Sections 465, 474,
120-B of IPC. Counsel for the applicant at the outset specifically
submits that offence under Sections 465 and 474 of IPC are
bailable in nature and therefore, issuance of arrest warrant is
illegal. Right course would have been the issuance of summons.
He relied upon the Judgment of Apex Court in the cases of Inder
Mohan Goswami Vs. State of Uttaranchal reported in ((2008) 1
SCC (Cri) 259) and recently in case of Aman Preet Singh Vs.
C.B.I. through Director passed in CRA.No.929/2021 on
02.09.2021. Learned counsel fairly submitted on behalf of
applicant that he is ready to cooperate in investigation and is also
ready to submit all relevant documents which are in his
possession for fair investigation including register as sought by
the authorities. Applicant does not bear any tainted criminal
background except one or two cases of minor nature.
Confinement may bring social disrepute and personal and
professional inconvenience. On these grounds, he prays for
anticipatory bail.
Learned counsel for the respondent/State opposed the
prayer and prayed for dismissal.
Leaned counsel for the complainant also opposed the
prayer and submitted that applicant was instrumental in causing
removal of his wife from the government job in Panchayat by
forging documents. However, he fairly submits that offence under
Sections 465 and 474 of IPC are bailable in nature.
Heard learned counsel for the parties at length and
considered the arguments advanced by them through case diary.
Considering the submissions and the facts that offence
under Sections 465 and 474 of IPC are bailable in nature as well
as the undertaking given by the counsel for the applicant on
behalf of applicant that he shall cooperate in investigation and
would make available all relevant documents before the
Investigating Officer therefore, I deem it appropriate to allow this
application under Section 438 of Cr.P.C. and it is hereby directed
that in the event of arrest, the applicant shall be released on bail
on furnishing a personal bond of Rs.50,000/-(Rupees Fifty
Thousand Only) with one solvent surety of the like amount to
the satisfaction of Investigating Officer/Investigating Agency.
