3.
Learned Counsel for the convicts/applicants have argued that the applicants have been falsely implicated in the present case. It is pertinent to mention here at this juncture, the main accused of present crime is Dev Narayan Chakradhari, who is real brother of the applicant No.1 and cousin brother of applicant No.2 and during the course of investigation, the memorandum statement of applicant No.1 was recorded, in which he categorically stated that his elder brother Dev Narayan Chakradhari formulated the
3 trust known as "Jan Seva Shiksha Ewam Samajik Utthan", in which the applicant No.1 was shown as trustee and there is role attributed by the applicants for the commission of alleged offences. It is pertinent to mention here at this juncture, for the bare perusal of the seizure memo, it is reflected that the applicant No.1 was resigned from the trust, so prima-facie the involvement of applicant has not been proved. So far the applicant No.2 is concerned, there is no active participation done by him in respect of furtherance of crime. The applicant are in jail since 31.07.2025 and the appeal is likely to take some time for its conclusion, hence the applicants have filed the instant application for suspension of sentence and grant of bail. 4. An objection has been filed on behalf of the State/respondent. It was argued by the State Counsel that considering the offence committed by the applicant, they do not deserve to be released on bail. The findings arrived at by the learned trial Court is just and proper. 5. I have learned counsel for the parties and perused the case diary. 6. Having considered the nature and gravity of the allegations, the magnitude of the financial fraud involved, and the material collected during investigation, this Court is of the considered opinion that the applicants have not been able to make out a
4 case for grant of bail. The case diary reflects that the bank account of the trust “Jan Seva Shiksha Ewam Samajik Utthan”, in which the applicants were associated, has been utilised for deposit of an amount of 52,57,000/- alleged to be proceeds of ₹
cyber fraud. At this stage, this Court finds it appropriate to reject the instant application for suspension of sentence and grant of bail, at this stage. 7. OfÏce is directed to provide a certified copy of this order to the trial Court for necessary information.
