CBI SPE, Dehradun, has sought his release on bail. Heard learned counsel for the parties. Learned counsel for the applicant submitted that applicant has falsely been implicated. It is further contended that applicant was not the authorized person to issue the training certificate. However, perusal of the first information report and copy of the recovery memo shows that the applicant demanded Rs. 7,000/- as bribe from the complainant for getting issued the Training Certificate. On this information being given by the complainant to the C.B.I., trap was laid and the accused was apprehended red handed accepting bribe of Rs. 7,000/-. The recovery memo is not only signed by all the members of the trapping team, complainant, but also by the applicant himself. Having considered submissions of learned counsel for the parties, without expressing any opinion as to the final merits of the case, this Court is of the view that it is not a fit case for granting bail. The bail application is rejected. (Prafulla.C. Pant, J.) Dt. 26.08.2009 H.Negi
