2020 (11) TMI 1070 - HC - Indian LawsSeeking grant of regular bail - adoption of fraudulent means to usurp the scholarship amount - HELD THAT:- In Sanjay Chandra's case [2011 (11) TMI 537 - SUPREME COURT], the Hon'ble Apex Court has held that it is not in the interest of justice that accused should be in jail for an indefinite period. No doubt, the offence alleged against the accused is a serious one in terms of alleged huge loss to the State exchequer, that, by itself, should not deter the Court from enlarging the accused on bail when there is no serious contention of the State that the accused, if released on bail, would interfere with the trial or tamper with evidence. It is deemed appropriate to negate the contention of learned State counsel for dismissal of the bail in view of serious allegations and pending investigation of the case. Petitioner is in judicial custody since 07.09.2020 and is not required for any further investigation of the case. The offences are triable by the Magistrate. It is deemed appropriate to enlarge the petitioner on regular bail - petition allowed.
