Non-applicant For Applicant : Mr. Sudhanshu Upadhyay, Advocate. For Non-applicant/State : Mr. Sakib Khan, Panel Lawyer. Hon'ble Mr. Ramesh Sinha, Chief Justice Order on Board 16.07.2025 1. This first anticipatory bail application under Section 482 of the Bhartiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 has been filed by the applicant, who is apprehending his arrest in connection with Crime No. 608/2025, registered at Police Station – Civil Line District - Bilaspur (C.G.) for the offence punishable under Sections under Section 318(4) & 336(3) of BNS 2023. 2. That, as per prosecution story complainant lodged an Information Report at P.S. Civil Lines, Bilaspur against the applicant/accused that graduation marksheet of the complainant has been stolen by the applicant/accused and further applicant/accused have committed forgery by altering the college name from GD.C Girls College to CMD VAIBHAV SINGH Digitally signed by VAIBHAV SINGH Date: 2025.07.17 11:04:15 +0530 2 College affiliated to Guru Ghasidas University, Bilaspur and enrollment no. in both the marksheet as well as passing year are same. It has been further alleged by the complainant that in her marksheet copy right mono of Guru Ghasidas University is present and it is not there in marksheet of the applicant/accused and on the basis of above mentioned forged marksheet/degree applicant/accused has obtained job in pharmaceutical company. 3. The applicant is entirely innocent and has been falsely implicated in this case due to a malicious and motivated complaint filed by the complainant, who acted in collusion with her friend Devendra Singh Parmar out of revenge and personal vendetta. Following their divorce in 2022, the complainant, harboring ill will, lodged fabricated complaints against the applicant, including forging and tampering with his personal documents, which she wrongfully retained and refused to return despite repeated requests. The complainant misused these documents to file false cases and defame the applicant through media publicity, deliberately misleading the police and concealing crucial facts about jurisdiction and previous complaints filed in Mumbai. Furthermore, the complainant and her accomplice resorted to cyber offences targeting the applicant’s current wife. No proper investigation was conducted regarding how the complainant obtained the applicant’s documents, and the entire case appears to be a planned effort to harass and defame the applicant without any valid evidence, warranting anticipatory bail in his favor 4. On the other hand, learned State counsel opposes the anticipatory bail application of the present applicant. 3 5. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the case diary. 6. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, the submissions of the learned counsel for the parties, the nature of the dispute, and the material available in the case diary, it appears that the entire case is a planned effort to harass and defame the applicant without any valid evidence. Therefore, without expressing any opinion on the merits, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the present applicant. 7. Accordingly, the instant MCRCA is allowed and it is directed that in the event of arrest of the applicant – Sankalp Tiwari, on executing a personal bond and one surety in the like sum to the satisfaction of the arresting Officer, he shall be released on bail on the following conditions:- (a) he shall not directly or indirectly make any inducement, threat or promise to any person acquainted with the facts of the case so as to dissuade him from disclosing such fact to the Court.
