The applicant has preferred the instant MCRC under Section 483 of the VASANT KUMAR Digitally signed by VASANT KUMAR Date: 2025.09.26 19:38:18 +0530 2 BNSS, 2023 (Section 439 of the CrPC, 1973) for grant of interim bail to the applicant who has been arrested in connection with FIR No.01/2024 dated 16.01.2024 registered by the Economic Offence Wing/Anti Corruption Bureau, Raipur, District Raipur (C.G.), for the offence punishable under Sections 11, 13(1)(k), 13(2) of the PC Act, 2018 and Section 120B, 384, 409 of IPC. 2. Case of the prosecution, an FIR was registered by the Economic Offence Wing, Raipur bearing No. 1 of 2024 for the offence punishable under Section 13(1)(a) Read with 13(2) and 11 of the Prevention of Corruption (Amended) Act, 2018 on the basis of the discloser of information by the Directorate of Enforcement under Section 66 of the PMLA. 2002 on 09.01.2024 bearing no. ECIR/RPZO/04/2023/791. The applicant was arrested on 07.09.2025 by the respondent agency. The applicant most humbly and respectfully submit that, the applicant is seeking interim bail in relation to FIR No. 01/2024 dated 16.01.2024 registered by the Economic Offences Wing/Anti-Corruption Bureau, Raipur u/384, 409, 120-B r/w 11,13 (1)(A), 13 (2) PC Act for a period of 4 weeks or as deem fit by the Hon'ble Court, on account of applicants mothers medical condition which has drastically deteriorated on account of respiratory distress for which she was intubated and put in ventilator. Hence, instant bail application. 3. Learned counsel for the applicant contended that due to poor 3 health condition of the mother of the applicant, who is octogenarian, is admitted in the Ramkrishna Care Hospital, Raipur complaining of shortness of breath with low oxygen saturation levels. The applicant’s mother was shifted to the ICU and she is intubated in put in ventilator in the Hospital. He further contended that presently the applicant is in judicial custody. The applicant is seeking present bail purely in the form of interim bail on account of health condition of his mother, which has drastically deteriorated on account of respiratory distress. In the instant bail application the applicant is not raising any grounds for grant of regular bail at this stage and seeks liberty to raise the same at the relevant time. He further contended that the brother of the applicant, viz., Yahya Dhebar has been granted interim bail by the Hon’ble Supreme Court vide order dated 24.09.2025 in Criminal Appeal No.4805 of 2024 for a period of two weeks from the date of his release on account of medical condition of applicant’s mother, therefore, the applicant is seeking similar relief. He would submit that on an earlier occasion, the learned trial Court granted interim bail to the applicant to meet his ailing mother. 4. Learned State Counsel opposes the submission made by learned counsel for the applicant and submits that there are many serious offences have been lodged against the applicant by the ACB and EOW, the act committed by the applicant/accused is serious in 4 nature, therefore, he may not be released on bail. However, the learned State counsel has no objection if the applicant shall release to meet his hospitalized mother for a short period only on the humanitarian ground. 5. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the case diary. 6. Considering the entire facts of the case, submission made by learned counsel for the parties and further considering the seriousness of the crime and after considering other circumstances, it does not seem appropriate to grant bail to this applicant/accused. Looking to the nature and gravity of the offence, this Court is of the opinion that it is not a fit case to enlarge the applicant on interim bail. 7. Accordingly, the interim bail application of the applicant filed under Section 483 of the BNSS, in connection with FIR No.01/2024 dated 16.01.2024 registered by the Economic Offence Wing/Anti Corruption Bureau, Raipur, District Raipur (C.G.), for the offence punishable under Sections 11, 13(1)(k), 13(2) of the PC Act, 2018 and Section 120B, 384, 409 of IPC, is rejected. 8. However, only on the humanitarian ground that currently octogenarian mother of the applicant is admitted in the 5 Ramkrishna Care Hospital, Raipur and she is intubated in put in ventilator in the Hospital. 9. Accordingly, in considered opinion of this Court that applicant - Anwar Dhebhar is permitted to meet to his mother in the hospital in police custody. Therefore, the concerned Superintendent of Police as well as the Jail Authority are directed to provide 1-4 guard to the applicant while he visiting the concerned hospital on tomorrow i.e., 27.09.2025 for a period of two hours from 11:00 AM to 01:00 PM. 10.
