KRISHNA KUMAR BARVE Digitally signed by KRISHNA KUMAR BARVE Date: 2026.08.01 11:37:16 +0530 2 Hon'ble Shri Ramesh Sinha , Chief Justice Order on Board 31/07/2026 1. This first anticipatory bail application under Section 482 of the Bhartiya Nagrik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 has been filed by the applicants, who are apprehending their arrest in connection with Crime No.961/2026 registered at Police Station – Supela, District – Durg (C.G.) for the offence punishable under Sections 318(2), 318(4) & 61 (2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (for short ‘BNS’). 2. The prosecution story, in brief, is that on 08/07/2026, a written complaint was submitted by the complainant namely Raju Namdev alleging that in the year 2025 the complainant heard news that the applicants are running share trading company in the name of Arena Capital who by way of share trading doubles the amount. Thereafter the complainant has further alleged that the applicants introduced the complainant with the partners of one firm namely Yogs Accounting and Financial, on account of which the applicants on 21/03/2025 transferred an amount of Rs.15,00,000/- (Fifteen Lakh Rupees) into the account of Yogs Accounting and Financial, and the complainant started getting profits but after sometime when the complainant stopped receiving the profit, he lodged the first information report (F.I.R.) against the applicants and therefore the aforesaid offences were registered against the applicants. Hence, the bail application. 3 3. Learned counsel for the applicants submits that the applicants are innocent and have been falsely implicated in the present case. He further submits that in the firm of the applicants had two partners one is the Applicant No.3 and the other partner is co-accused Yogesh Kumar Sahu in the firm of the applicant, one Rajkumar Tiwari who used to collect the amount and profits from the applicants and thereafter, he used to transfers the amount into the account of the applicants, and he also used to earn profits and transfers the amount into other customers. After sometime the intention of Rajkumar Tiwari became malafide and he used to take profits from the applicants firm but the said profit was never deposited into the bank accounts of the complainant. When the applicants came to know, Yogesh Kumar had sent legal notice 30/12/2025 to Rajkumar Tiwari about his conduct. Before the registration of first information report (F.I.R.) the applicants had submitted a complaint before the Superintendent of Police on 24/02/2026 and on 10/03/2026 in which the applicants have specifically contended that Rajkumar Tiwari and his partners have defrauded the applicants by falsely investing amount into various private accounts for the sum of Rs.6,88,151,661/-which shows that the applicants are also the victims. The applicants have been enlarged on bail in criminal antecedents as the Applicants No. 1 & 3 have been granted bail by this Hon'ble Court in Crime No. 1373/2025 vide order dated 02/01/2026 and the Applicant No. 2 has been granted bail by the trial Court in Crime No.1373/2025 4 vide order dated 02/02/2026. Rajkumar Tiwari has used the complainant as bait and has lodged the report against the applicants. Applicants No. 1 and 2 are women and they have no role in the company and the applicant no. 3 is only implicated in the present case just because she is the wife of the applicant no.3 and co-accused Yogesh Kumar Sahu. The complainant had received profits from the side of the applicants on 21/06/2025, 21/07/2025, 21/08/2025 and malafide intentions and illegal acts of Rajkumar Tiwari who has gulped the profit of the complainant and therefore the main dispute is between the complainant and Rajkumar Tiwari and the complainant has intentionally implicated the applicants in the false case. The applicants have not received any amount and also there is no direct or indirect involvement of applicant in the said offence. Therefore the applicants be released on bail. 4. On the other hand, learned State counsel and learned counsel for the Objector oppose the prayer for grant of anticipatory bail to the applicants. 5. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused all of the documents taken on record. 6. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, and the fact that applicants No.1 & 3 have already been released on anticipatory bail by this Court in Crime No.1373/2025 vide order dated 2.1.2026 passed in MCRCA No.1979/2025 and applicant 5 No.2 has been granted anticipatory bail by the trial Court in same crime number, without commenting anything on the merits of the case, this Court is inclined to extend the benefit of anticipatory bail to the applicants. 7. Accordingly, the instant MCRCA is allowed and it is directed that in the event of arrest of the applicants – Megha Sahu, Shikha Sanan & Gaurav Kumar Sanan, on executing a personal bond with one surety each in the like sum to the satisfaction of the Arresting Officer, they shall be released on bail on the following conditions:- (a) they should 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. (b) they should not act in any manner which will be prejudicial to fair and expeditious trial. (c) they should appear before the trial Court on each and every date given to him by the said Court till disposal of the trial. (d) The Applicants and the sureties shall submit a copy of their adhaar card alongwith a colored postcard full size photo having printed the adhaar number on it, which shall be verified by the trial Court. (e) they should not involve themselves in any offence of similar nature in future. Sd/- (Ramesh Sinha) CHIEF JUSTICE Barve
