Heard learned counsel for the applicant, learned A.G.A. for the State as well as learned counsel for the informant and perused the material on record.
The present bail application has been filed by the applicant with a prayer to enlarge him on bail in Case Crime No.0357 of 2019, under Section 406, 420 IPC, P.S. Kotwali, District Mathura.
Learned counsel for the applicant submits that applicant as well as informant invested money in the MFP & Film Production House. According to FIR, on 18.11.2017 informant paid Rs. 2,64,000/- in cash to the applicant as well as Dr. Satyaveer Pindey, Doctor Rajeev Arya, Anuj Kumar and Manoj Gurger. He further submits that applicant also lodged FIR against owner of the Production House company and others being Case Crime No. 662 of 2019, under Sections 506, 323, 420 and 406 IPC. In the FIR it has been alleged that the company misappropriated the money of the applicant as well as informant in this case. After transfer of the money applicant and informant used to work with the company. When money was misappropriated and applicant lodged FIR then informant has lodged FIR against the applicant. He also submits that he has deposited the money regarding which bank account statement has been submitted, which is at page 23 onwards to the supplementary affidavit. He next submits that he has not misappropriated any money. He further submits that there is no possibility of the applicant of fleeing away from the judicial process or tampering with the witnesses and, in case, the applicant is enlarged on bail, the applicant shall not misuse the liberty of bail and the applicant is languishing in jail since 03.08.2020.
Per contra, learned A.G.A. as well as learned counsel for the informant have opposed the bail prayer of the applicant and submit that as per FIR as well as investigation through different account numbers near about Rs. 55.00 lakhs were transferred to the account of the accused persons, which has been fraudulently misappropriated.
Considering the facts and circumstances of the case as well as submissions made by learned counsel for the parties, evidence collected during investigation, money deposited in the account of applicant and also perusing the material on record, without expressing any opinion on merit of the case, I do not find a fit case for bail.
Consequently, the prayer for bail of the applicant Rohit Gill is hereby refused and the bail application is rejected.
However, the trial court is directed to expedite the aforesaid case in accordance with law without granting unnecessary adjournments to either of the parties as expeditiously as possible, if possible within six months..
