On the other hand, learned counsel for the State opposing the bail application would submit that earlier the bail application of the applicant was rejected by this court on merit and no change of circumstances has been shown by the applicant to file present second bail application, therefore, second bail application is liable to be rejected on this count alone.

He would submit that the applicant is resident of Uttar Pradesh and if bail is granted to him then there is chance of absconding and letter was written to Branch 6 Manager, Federal Bank, Gomti Nagar, Lucknow to provide information regarding account number 16790200000683 of Shine Dream City Company wherein he has stated that in the said account transactions were done, as such account was put on hold. He would further submit that directors of Sign Dream City namely Mohd. Asif, Rashid Naseem, Shamshad Ansari, Shahid Akhtar were found to be involved in the alleged crime, therefore, notices were issued to them to appear before Police Station DD Nagar for recording their statements, yet they did not appear before the Police Station which shows prima-facie involvement of the applicant as well as co-accused are exists, as such custodial interrogation of the applicant is required so that the real fact may come on record. 6. Heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the case diary. 7. From perusal of the case diary, it is quite vivid, that sale deed has been executed on the basis of authorization letter given by Rashid Khan and Amir Khan to the applicant and on the basis of which one property was sold to different land owner thrice. The prosecution has also arrayed the directors Mohd. Asif, Rashid Naseem, Shamshad Ansari, Shahid Akhtar and investigation is started. From the case diary, it is also reflected, that earlier sale deed dated 19.08.2019 was executed between shine genex private limited through its Director Asif Naseem, aged about 34 years S/o. Naseem Ahmad R/o. 1/6, 4 th floor, R Chowk complex, Vipulkhand, Gomti Nagar, Luknow (UP) and Hope Enterprises through Hitesh Choubey wherein the shine genex was seller and this property has 7 been sold through power of attorney given to the present applicant by director of Shine City Dream wherein the seller of executant of earlier sale deed Asif Nasaeem was director. This clearly prima-facie reflect that present applicant and the Directors Mohd. Asif, Rashid Naseem, Sham shad Ansari, Shahid Akhtar are directly involved in the commission of offence. Further considering the fact, that despite issuance of notice by the prosecution co-accused are not appearing before the prosecution, as such custodial interrogation of the applicant is necessary to elicit the truth. Even otherwise, the complainant has not been able to point out what are the change circumstances after rejection of earlier bail application by this Court. 06.05.2025. His earlier bail application has already been rejected on merit; as such no new ground is made out for consideration of second bail of the applicant. Considering, prima-facie involvement of the applicant, this Court is of the view that the applicant is not entitled to be released on regular bail. Accordingly, the second bail application of the applicant is rejected. Sd/- (Narendra Kumar Vyas) Judge Santosh
