Learned counsel for the applicant would submit that the allegation levelled against applicant is false and baseless. He has been falsely implicated in the crime, in fact bank account of applicant has been used by the other co-accused persons and within a period of one months Rs. 10 Lakh has been deposited in the account, applicant is also a victim. 4. On the other hand, learned State counsel opposes the submission of counsel for applicant and submits that applicant along with other co- accused persons has involved in commission of alleged crime of online trading and cheated other persons. He submits that according to the investigation, huge amount of Rs. 10 Lakh has been deposited in the account of applicant but the bank statement of the said account is still awaited. He also submits that the regular bail application preferred by co- accused person namely Jayaram Vajendla in MCRC No. 1855/2026 came to be rejected vide order dated 25.03.2026 by co-ordinate Bench of this Court and subsequently bail application of two other co-accused namely Rohit Baban Kaulge and Sumit Shrinivas Rathi also came to be dismissed in MCRC No. 4420/2026 and MCRC No. 4823/2026 vide order dated 09.07.2026. 5. I have heard learned counsel for the respective parties and also perused the documents enclosed along with bail application. 6. On due consideration of the facts and circumstances of the case, nature of allegation, submission of learned counsel for the parties and further considering the the regular bail application of three co-accused persons have already been rejected, I do not find present to be a fit case to allow this anticipatory bail application. 7. Accordingly, application is rejected. 8. Office is directed to send a certified copy of this order to the trial Court concerned for necessary information and compliance forthwith.
