JUSTICE AMBUJ NATH ------ For the Petitioner : Mr. Pran Pranay, Advocate For the State : Mrs. Ruby Pandey, A.P.P. ------ 04/06.02.2025 Heard the parties. 2. The petitioner has been made accused in connection with Deoghar Cyber P.S. Case No. 41 of 2023, for the offences registered under Sections 419, 420, 467, 468, 471 & 120B of the I.P.C. and Sections 66(B), 66(C) & 66(D) of the I.T. Act, pending in the Court of learned Additional Sessions Judge-II-cum-Special Judge, Cyber Crime, Deoghar. 3. On 10.07.2023, the informant had gone to withdraw money from ATM of Union Bank at Deoghar. While he was withdrawing money, his ATM card got stuck in the ATM machine. A placard was kept there displaying a phone number that if anybody had any difficulty in withdrawing money, he should contact the said number. The informant contacted the number stated in the placard. Thereafter, a person impersonating as Bank Officer induced the informant in stating his OTP number and PIN number and thereafter, withdrew Rs. 69,667/- from his bank account. During the course of investigation, the petitioner and co- accused Nitish Kumar were apprehended at Mokama, committing similar offence. They confessed their guilt. Subsequently, they were remanded in this case. 4. It appears that the petitioner has got criminal antecedent and he has been made accused in two other cases of similar nature. It further appears that bail application of co-accused Nitish Kumar has been rejected by this Court in B.A. No. 9170/2024. 5. In view of the aforesaid facts, I am not inclined to release the petitioner, on bail. Accordingly, his prayer for bail stands rejected. (Ambuj Nath, J.) Rahul/-
