2020 (9) TMI 1269 - HC - Indian LawsSeeking grant of Regular Bail - criminal conspiracy - fraudulent withdrawal of money from the Bank Accounts of different persons - operation of inoperative accounts of the customers by issuing Cheque Books in the name of those customers of the Bank and used to withdraw the amount from their accounts fraudulently - HELD THAT:- Admittedly the Challan has been submitted against him more than four months ago and there is no requirement for his further detention especially in view of the fact that he was taken into custody in the present case before he could be released on bail granted to him by the Himachal Pradesh High Court. Ld. State Counsel has nevertheless also contended that considering the nature of offences involved there is every likelihood that the Petitioner will abscond and flee from justice on account of which he should not be released on bail. This submission, however, does not appear to be substantiated considering the previous background of the Petitioner's arrest and implication in FIR No.161 dated 21.9.2018. Inspite of having been granted bail on 24.5.2019 in FIR No.161 of 2018 of the same Police Station, the Pettioner had never misused his liberty and was diligent in attending the Court till 18.12.2019, after which he was arrested, and there is no material to indicate that he had tried to flee away. This Court finds the Petitioner to be entitled to regular bail in the present case considering his long detention exceeding 6½ months, and the fact that Challan against him has been filed long ago. He is, therefore, ordered to be released on bail subject to imposition of appropriate terms and conditions to ensure his attendance, which are left to the discretion of the Ld. Trial Court/Duty Magistrate concerned - Petition allowed.
