Heard learned counsel for the parties and learned Public Prosecutor. Perused the material placed on record by both the parties. [2025:RJ-JP:40044] (4 of 5) [CRLMB-11572/2025] 7. Complainant Rakesh Kumar Dorata has registered a report by way of criminal complaint under Section 156(3) of CrPC alleging that the present petitioner, Dharamveer and complainant were partners in M/s. Shivam Stone Crusher involved in mining and stone crushing and a power of attorney in favour of accused for administrative and compliance related work was issued by remaining two partners. The complainant has alleged that the present petitioner accused has dishonestly retired Rakesh and Dharamveer from partnership firm and re-constituted the partnership firm. After registration of report police has investigated the matter and police has found involvement of present petitioner in commission of offence as alleged by complainant and he was arrested on 20.08.2025. The complainant has also alleged breach of trust in misappropriation of ₹55,00,000/-. We have considered statement of notary public Ghanshyam Singh with other material available on case diary. 8. The facts and the material indicate that the alleged offence are of serious nature and role attributed to applicant is prima facie sufficient to consider complicity of applicant in the crime. Therefore, at this juncture, considering the evidence collected so far, this is not a fit case to enlarge the applicant accused on bail. 9. Considering the gravity of allegations and overall facts and circumstances of the case, it is appropriate to dismiss the bail application of the applicant accused at this stage. [2025:RJ-JP:40044] (5 of 5) [CRLMB-11572/2025] 10. Accordingly, the application for bail filed under Section 483 of BNSS preferred by the applicant-accused Devraj Singh S/o Bhagwaan Singh is hereby dismissed. (ASHOK KUMAR JAIN),J MR/123
