Petitioner has been made accused in connection with Cyber P.S. Case No. 149 of 2024 corresponding to Cyber Case No. 23 of 2024 for the offences registered under sections 419, 420, 467, 468, 471 and 120(B) of the Indian Penal Code and section 66(B), 66(C) and 66(D) of the I.T. Act, pending in the court of learned A.J.C.-II-cum- Special Judge, Cyber Crime, Ranchi. 3. Bail application of the petitioner was earlier rejected by this court vide B.A. No. 7523 of 2024 by order dated 27.01.2025. 4. The informant Manisha Prakash was added in the Whatsapp Group of Tata Investment Club, which dealt in the investment in share market. At the instance of Tata Investment Club, she deposited a total amount of Rs. 26,90,901.68 (Rupees Twenty-Six Lakh Ninety Thousand Nine Hundred One and Sixty-Eight Paise.) between the period from 10.05.2024 to 30.05.2024 in the different accounts. Subsequently, the firm misappropriated her deposited amount. The aforesaid firm was being operated by the petitioner. 5. It was submitted that the account of the petitioner was being used by the accused persons for transferring money. It was further submitted that he has become a victim of his greed. It was further submitted that the Petitioner is in custody for more than a year. 6. Report regarding the stage of the trial earlier called for, has been received. It appears that though, charge was framed in this case on 03.01.2025, but the prosecution has not examined any witness till date. 7. In view of the submission made above, I am inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. Accordingly, the petitioner, above named, is directed to be released on bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs. 20,000/- (Rupees twenty thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each, to the satisfaction of learned A.J.C.-II-cum-Special Judge, Cyber Crime, Ranchi in connection with Cyber P.S.
