Applicant(s) versus State Of Chhattisgarh Through Station House Officer, Police Of Police Station Bhatgaon, District Sarangarh-Bilaigarh Chhattisgarh (Wrongly Mentioned As Police Station Sarsiva) ... Non-Applicant(s) For Applicant : Mr. Anil Kumar Gulati, Advocate. For Non-Applicant/State : Mr. Saumya Rai, Panel Lawyer. Hon’ble Shri Ramesh Sinha, Chief Justice Order on Board 11.07.2025 1 The applicant has preferred this First Bail Application under Section 483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 for grant of regular bail, as he has been arrested in connection with Crime No.45/2025, registered at Police Station – Bhatgaon, District- Sarangarh-Bilaigarh (C.G.) for the offence punishable under Sections 111, 317(2), 317(4), 317(5) and read with section 3(5) of B.N.S. KUNAL DEWANGAN Digitally signed by KUNAL DEWANGAN 2 2 The prosecution's case, in brief, is that the Ministry of Home Affairs portal revealed that an amount of ₹29,700/- was credited into the applicant's bank account, allegedly obtained through cyber fraud and subsequently the applicant has been arrested for the commission of alleged offences. 3 Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant is innocent and he has been falsely implicated in this case. He further submits that the applicant is a friend of Roshan and Roshan asked the applicant that to provide his account number as some money has to be paid to him as he is not having any account, so the applicant being a friend of Roshan, he provided his account details and the amount which was received by the applicant paid to Roshan, so even if the entire prosecution case is accepted as it is, there is no role attributed by the applicant for the commission of alleged offence and the applicant has been roped for the commission of alleged offence being a friend of Roshan and the applicant is in jail since 24-03-2025 and the conclusion of the trial is likely to take some time, therefore, he prays for grant of bail to the applicant.s 4 On the other hand, the learned State counsel opposes the prayer for grant of bail and submits that in this case the present applicant sold his bank account to a co-accused for Rs. 20,000/- and the said account was subsequently used to commit a fraudulent transaction amounting to Rs. 29,700/- Accordingly, the present applicant is not entitled for grant of bail. 3 5 I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the documents available on record. 6 Taking into consideration the facts and circumstances of the case, nature and gravity of allegation levelled against the applicant and the fact that the present applicant sold his bank account to the co- accused Roshan, for Rs. 20,000/- and the said account was subsequently used to commit a fraudulent transaction amounting to Rs. 29,700/-, thus involvement of the applicant in the alleged offence appears to be reasonable and such incidents are increasing rapidly, severely impacting not only the economy but also the banking system, hence, this Court does not find a fit case to released the applicant. 7 Accordingly, the bail application of the applicant – Dilesh Sahu, involved in Crime No.45/2025, registered at Police Station – Bhatgaon, District- Sarangarh-Bilaigarh (C.G.) for the offence punishable under Sections 111, 317(2), 317(4), 317(5) and read with section 3(5) of B.N.S, is rejected. 8 Needless to say that the trial Court concerned is at liberty to proceed and conclude the trial expeditiously. 9 Office is directed to send a certified copy of this order to the trial Court concerned for necessary information and compliance forthwith.
