As per prosecution story in the charge sheet, a complaint was filled by the complainant /Rupesh Kumar Sahu stating that his account no.62430100009440 at Bank of Baroda was misused by one Ahsutosh VAIBHAV SINGH Digitally signed by VAIBHAV SINGH Date: 2025.06.17 19:45:36 +0530 Sharma and had been freezed by the bank where total transactions were made of Rs.90,000/- where Rs.20,000/- was kept in hold. The FIR was lodged and Ahsutosh Sharma had given his memorandum in which he had stated that he was the Loan Agent of Bandhan Bank, Dongargarh, and had come in contact with a customer namely Shubham Tiwari/Co-accused who had informed that Crypto Currency and Shares money are to be exchanged for which he will be paid 5% commission. He had received about Rs.1,00,000/-, total commission for the transaction made in his accounts. Thereafter the investigating agency had made all the persons who had made transactions in the accounts as accused where the Ashutosh Sharma had been proceeded under Sec.35 BNSS and had been let off as per the Charge sheet. The total Transactions which have been made in the accounts of the present applicant are about Rs.90,000/- which is alleged to have been transferred through these accounts fro changing Crypto Currencies. 3. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant has been falsely implicated in this case. He further submits that the applicant has not been mentioned in the memorandum of the co-accused Ashutosh sharma against whom the initial complaint was made and he is already released on bail applicant has been in jail since 11.02.2025 and the conclusion of the trial is likely to take quite long time. Therefore, he prays for releasing the applicant on regular bail. 4. On the other hand, learned State Counsel appearing for the State/non- applicant opposes the bail application and submits that in the present case charge-sheet has been filed before the competent Court. He submits that the present applicant has 01 criminal antecedent, which shows that the present applicant is not entitled for grant of bail. 5. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the case diary. 6. Learned State has raised preliminary objection regarding the maintainability of the present bail application as it is stated that the applicant had moved a regular bail application before the trial Court along with an ad-interim bail application on the ground that his sister’s marriage was to be solemnized for which he may be granted interim bail and the said interim bail application was disposed of with the direction that he shall be send for attending the marriage in police custody. But so far as the regular bail application is concerned, the same has not been considered and decided on merits. Learned counsel for the applicant could not dispute the said fact. 7. The present application accordingly, rejected with liberty to the trial Court to decide the bail application of the applicant on the merits and if the applicant is aggrieved by another order of the trial Court, he is at liberty to take recourse to law.
