The applicant is Secretary of the Agra Competition College Society that manages the Unnati Management College. The allegation alleged in the FIR are false and baseless but without any credible evidence the Investigating Officer has submitted the charge-sheet. 4.

The concerned court after hearing the counsel for the parties may decide the application on merits, in accordance with law, within a period of three months. Thereafter applicant filed discharge application and discharge application of the applicant was decided vide order dated 28.11.2019. Thereafter against the order dated 28.11.2019 the applicant again preferred 482 Cr.P.C Application No. 7041 of 2020. The same was dismissed vide order dated 13.08.2024. Thereafter, the applicant moved this anticipatory bail application by submitting that applicant is innocent and has been falsely implicated in the present case due to ulterior motive. It is next submitted that the applicant availing the legal remedy available to him. The applicant is apprehensive of imminent arrest. In case, the applicant is released on bail, he would not misuse the liberty of bail and would cooperate with the investigation 5.

The applicant filed 482 Cr.P.C. application by which challenged the chargesheet, the application of the applicant was dismissed by the court, thereafter discharge application moved on his behalf has been dismissed by the court concerned. Thereafter, again the applicant has filed Application 482 Cr.P.C. which too was dismissed by this Court. The trial court has rejected the discharge application filed by the applicant on the basis of evidence submitted by the prosecution side. The applicant is not entitled for any indulgence by this Court. Hence, the anticipatory bail application of the applicant deserves to be rejected. 6. Considering the rival submissions made by learned counsel for the applicant, learned A.G.A. and learned counsel for the informant and from the perusal of the record, it is apparent that the Applications filed U/s 482 Cr.P.C. of the applicant have been rejected by the coordinate bench of this court, thereafter applicant moved discharge application before the trial court, which too was rejected on the basis of evidence collected during investigation. Prima facie offenec is made out against the applicant and it is not a case of false implication. 7. The present Anticipatory Bail Application being devoid of merit is rejected.
