ADITI DIWAN KAIWART Digitally signed by ADITI DIWAN KAIWART Date: 2025.04.29 10:57:47 +0530 2 (MCRC No. 3208 of 2025) 2. Case of the prosecution, in brief, is that the applicant, who was working in the Court, sent a requisition by false signature of the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Korba to Police Station Deepika for the money which was seized in different cases and an amount of Rs.3,43,869/- in between the period from 1998-2008 was usurped and not deposited in the Treasury. Subsequently, the applicant was arrested on 05.08.2015 in connection with other Crime No.309/2015, thereafter, he was granted bail by this Court vide order dated 30.08.2017 passed in MCRC No.5049/2017. However, the applicant could not appear before the trial Court on the date of hearing on 24.07.2024 and, therefore, an arrest warrant was issued against the applicant and he was arrested on 07.03.2025. 3. Learned counsel for the applicant would submit that the applicant has been falsely implicated in this case. He further submits that the applicant could not appear before the trial Court on the date of hearing on 24.07.2024, as he was out of station for treatment of his kidney stone. He would further submit that the applicant is in jail since 07.03.2025 and conclusion of the trial will take some time. Accordingly, he prays for enlarging the applicant on regular bail. 4. On the other hand, learned State counsel opposes the bail application and submits that the charge-sheet has been filed in 3 (MCRC No. 3208 of 2025) this matter before the competent Court. He further submits that after being granted bail by this Court vide order dated 30.08.2017 passed in MCRC No.5049/2017, the applicant has jumped the bail and was arrested on 07.03.2025, after issuance of arrest warrant against him by the trial Court. It is further submitted that there is another criminal case registered against the applicant bearing Crime No. 309/2015, registered at P.S. - City Kotwali, District – Korba, and in the said case the applicant has also jumped the bail, for which the applicant has moved an application before this Court for grant of bail bearing MCRC No. 3199/2025 and the same has been rejected today, and if the applicant would be granted bail, there is a likelihood that the applicant will abscond again. As such, the applicant is not entitled for grant of bail. 5. I have heard learned counsel appearing for the parties and perused the case diary. 6. Considering the facts & circumstances of the case, nature & gravity of the offence, material available in the case dairy and the fact that after being granted bail by this Court vide order dated 30.08.2017 passed in MCRC No.5049/2017, the applicant has jumped the bail and he was arrested on 07.03.2025, after an arrest warrant was issued against him by the trial Court, further the fact that there is another criminal 4 (MCRC No. 3208 of 2025) case registered against the applicant bearing Crime No. 309/2015, registered at P.S. - City Kotwali, District – Korba, and in the said case the applicant has also jumped the bail, for which the applicant has moved an application before this Court for grant of bail bearing MCRC No. 3199/2025 and the same has been rejected today, and if the applicant would be granted bail, there is a likelihood that the applicant will abscond again, as such, this Court is of the opinion that it is not a fit case to enlarge the applicant on regular bail. 7. Accordingly, the bail application of the applicant – Mukesh Yadav, filed under Section 483 of the Bhartiya Nagrik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, involved in Crime No. 315/2015 registered at Police Station – Out Post – Rampur, P.S. - Kotwali, District Korba (C.G.), for alleged commission of offence punishable under Sections 419, 420, 468, 471, 120-B, 201 of the IPC, is rejected. 8. Needless to say that the trial Court concerned is at liberty to proceed with the trial and conclude the same, expeditiously. 9. Office is directed to send a certified copy of this order to the concerned trial Court for necessary information. - Sd/- (Ramesh Sinha) Chief Justice @d!t!/ Rajshekhar
