2021 (5) TMI 269 - DSC - Money LaunderingSeeking grant of anticipatory bail - Commission of offences punishable under section-420 IPC and section-10 of the Haryana Development and Regulation of Urban Areas Act, 1975 - violating the terms & conditions of the licence granted for the development of a colony - HELD THAT:- Grant of anticipatory bail at this stage of investigation is likely to frustrate the right of investigating agency to interrogate the accused and collect the useful information as well as material which might have been concealed - success in such interrogation would elude if the accused knows that he is protected by the order of the Court and therefore, hold that with regard to the instant offence which comes within the category of economic offence the very purpose of the investigation will stand materially hampered. Taking into consideration the entire facts and scenario and without commenting anything on the merits of the case irrespective of the quantum of financial loss which has been caused to the State Exchequer, the overall act and conduct of the applicant/accused leads this Court to a definite conclusion that affording the benefit of anticipatory bail will deny the investigating agency a fair right to investigate the case properly by effectively interrogating the accused and this denial will scuttle the investigation. Therefore, hold that the applicant/accused is not entitled for the benefit of anticipatory bail and his request for anticipatory bail deserves to be declined. Hence, the instant application for anticipatory bail is hereby dismissed. However, any observation recorded in this order shall not be treated as an expression of opinion on the merits of the case. File be consigned to the record room after due compliance.
