This Court is also aware of the law laid down by the Hon'ble Apex Court in the case of P. Chidambram Vs. 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. Apprehension of arrest has also been denied. Considering the complicity of the accused and the gravity of offence, this Court do not find any good ground to intervene in this matter. Consequently, the instant anticipatory bail application is hereby dismissed. Consigned to records.
