Directorate of Enforcement, reported in (2019)9 Supreme Court Cases, 24, wherein it has been held that case of economic offences are of different class as they affect the economic fabric of the society and therefore, the power under section 438 of the Cr.P.C., be exercised sparingly and in such matters, the bail applications must be granted in exceptional cases, after application of mind in relation to nature and gravity of accusation, possibility of applicant fleeing justice and other factors. Learned counsel for the applicant has failed to satisfactorily substantiate that the applicant would not tamper the evidences and would not threaten the witnesses. Application of arrest has also been denied. Thus, this court does not find any good ground to intervene in this matter. The anticipatory bail application of the applicant, Shiv Kumar, is hereby rejected.
