As per the prosecution story, in brief, is that the complainants namely Deepak Puri, Shukchandan Puri, Dushyant and Om Puri separately submitted written complaints that the applicant 2 is getting SIM cards issued in their names and misusing the said SIM cards in connivance with his associates. 3. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant has been falsely implicated in this case. He also submits that allegation levelled against the present applicant is totally false, the applicant has been implicated as accused in the present case only on the basis of the memorandum statement of the co- accused persons and co-accused persons have been enlarged on bail by this Hon’ble Court in MCRC No. 3492 of 2025 vide order dated 20.05.2025. Therefore, he prays for grant of anticipatory bail to the present applicant. 4. On the other hand, learned State counsel opposes the submission made by the learned counsel for the applicant and submits that looking to the overt-act applicant is not entitled for grant of anticipatory bail. 5. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the case diary. 6. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, submissions of learned counsel for the parties, nature of dispute and material available in the case diary, it transpires that the present case applicant is getting SIM cards issued in their name and misusing the said SIM cards in connivance with his associates therefore, this Court is of the opinion that it is not a fit case to enlarge the applicant on bail. 3 7.
