CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE SANDEEP KUMAR ORAL ORDER 8 25-03-2026 Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner, learned APP for the State and the learned counsel for the LIC Housing Finance.
2. The petitioner seeks regular bail in connection with Rampur P.S. Case No. 337 of 2024 registered for the offence under Sections 420, 406, 467, 468, 469, 470, 471, and 120B of the Indian Penal Code.
3. The allegation against the petitioner is that he deceived the informant and his family by promising to arrange a loan from L.I.C. and took their documents. He later claimed the loan was not sanctioned, but the informant discovered that it had been sanctioned when L.I.C. employees demanded installments.
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.89461 of 2024(8) dt.25-03-2026 2/3 Upon enquiry, the petitioner admitted that he had withdrawn the loan amount and paid a few installments in the name of the informant’s father.
4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that he has no instructions in the matter. Earlier, the petitioner had undertaken before this Court that he would return the defalcated amount of approximately Rs. 35 lakh within 14 months, but not even a single farthing has been deposited by the petitioner. It appears that the petitioner is buying time after obtaining interim protection from this Court.
5. The provisional bail granted to the petitioner by
order dated 07.04.2025, which was subsequently extended by various orders, is hereby cancelled.
6. Considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances, particularly the nature and gravity of the allegations, and the conduct of the petitioner in not adhering to the undertaking given before this Court, this Court is not inclined to grant regular bail to the petitioner.
7. Accordingly, the application for regular bail is hereby rejected.
8. If the petitioner doesn’t surrender within one week from today then the Senior Superintendent of Police, Gaya will
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.89461 of 2024(8) dt.25-03-2026 3/3 take all steps for the arrest of the petitioner and submit a compliance report on or before the next date of hearing.
9. Re-list this case after four weeks under the heading
“For Orders”.
10. Let a copy of this order be communicated to the Senior Superintendent of Police, Gaya through FAX or e-mail for its compliance forthwith.
