5-ABA-1591-25.doc Section 42(1), 42(2) of the Telecommunications Act, 2023. 3. It is the prosecution case that on the basis of a letter dated 21st January 2026 issued by the Ministry of Communication Department of Telecommunications to the Assistant Commissioner of Police, Mumbai, it was informed that a company by name M/s Maindoevuvers Solutions Pvt. Ltd. is illegally diverting the international calls. It was informed that while receiving any international calls an Indian number or no number would appear on the receivers mobile and this was facilitated by the said company. It is the prosecution case that only Reliance Jio and Vodafone have been issued (ILD) licence to receive international calls by the department of Telecommunications, Government of India and the international calls could be routed only through these licensees. It is the prosecution case that on 23rd January 2026 a raid was conducted at the premises of M/s Maindoevuvers Solutions Pvt.

5-ABA-1591-25.doc basis of the preliminary inquiry, the FIR came to be registered. 4. The applicant has thereafter filed an application seeking pre-arrest bail before the learned Sessions Court vide ABA No. 615 of 2026 which came to be rejected by order dated 2nd April 2026. Thereafter the applicant has filed instant application.
5. Mr. Sushrut Jadhwar learned counsel for applicant submitted that the applicant is not directly connected with the said company by name M/s Maindoevuvers Solutions Pvt. Ltd and only because his mobile number is registered while registering the e-mail ID of the said company a connection is sought to be established. He submitted that the applicant is not employed, nor is a Director of the said company and as such he is falsely implicated. 6. As against this, learned APP for the respondents opposed the application and submitted that the applicant is part of the huge racket involved in the illegal act of routing the international calls. It is submitted that the company by name M/s Maindoevuvers Solutions LLP is not having any licence and 3/5
5-ABA-1591-25.doc therefore is not authorised to route the international calls. It is also submitted that the App developed by the company bye passes the registration of international calls and this amounts to cheating with the government apart from causing monetary loss. 7. It has to be noted that the company by names M/s Maindoevuvers Solutions Pvt. Ltd appears to be involved in the act of illegally diverting the international calls. The Government of India has issued the licences only to reliance Jio and Vadafone to receive international calls. As such routing of the international calls through any other company is an illegality thereby cheating the government and causing heavy financial loss. Apart from this it has to be noted that the acts of illegally diverting the international calls also poses serious threat to the country as an unknown person can be facilitated to receive international calls without being detected and traced
8. It has also to be seen that the applicant’s mobile number is used for the purpose of registration of e-mail ID of the said company by name M/s Maindoevuvers Solutions Pvt. Ltd and as such the applicants connection with the said company is 4/5
5-ABA-1591-25.doc clear. 9.
Having regard to the allegations in the FIR and the material collected by the investigating agency forming part of the charge-sheet and considering the nature of offence being very serious in nature, at this stage, I am of the opinion that the applicant has failed to make out any case for grant of pre-arrest bail. Hence, the instant application seeking pre-arrest bail is rejected. (PRAFULLA S. KHUBALKAR, J.) 5/5
