IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE FOR RAJASTHAN BENCH AT JAIPUR S.B. CR.MISC.BAIL APPLICATION NO.7649/2010 Harshad Mehta & Anr. Vs. State of Rajasthan Date of order : 19/8/2010. HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE MOHAMMAD RAFIQ Shri Bharat Vyas for the petitioners. Shri Piyush Kumar, P.P. for the State. ****** Heard learned counsel for the petitioners, learned Public Prosecutor for the State and perused the relevant documents placed before me. Contention of the learned counsel for the petitioners is that a false case has been registered at the behest of Junior Accountant working in the Jaipur Development Authority. Learned counsel submitted that the petitioner deposited a sum of Rs. 5,97452/- with the Jaipur Development Authority towards conversion charges on 3rd June, 2010. This amount included interest as well. The petitioners had been requesting the Junior Account to make them available a copy of the receipt of the amount deposited, so that they could obtain `Patta', but despite their request, the complainant did not give them copy of the receipt. On 27th July, 2010 when they went for that purpose, the complainant demanded illegal gratification, to which the petitioners did not agree and when the petitioners made complaint against the Junior Account to the higher authorities of the Jaipur Development Authority, he lodged a false FIR, alleging that the petitioners have threatened and tried to assault him, whereas nothing of the sort was happened. There is no allegation that any of the petitioners manhandled the complainant. Learned Public Prosecutor has opposed the bail application. Having regard to the submissions made at the bar, the nature of accusation against the petitioners, the materials collected so far during the course of investigation and all other facts and circumstances of the case, I deem it just and proper to grant the indulgence of pre-arrest bail to the petitioners. In the result, this bail application u/S.438 Cr.P.C. is allowed and it is directed that in the event of arrest of petitioners (Harshad Mehta S/O Shri Man Singh Mehta and (2) Man Singh Mehta in FIR No. 351/2010, P.S. Gandhi Nagar, Jaipur they shall be released on bail by the concerned SHO/Investigating Officer, provided each of them furnishes a personal bond in the sum of Rs.30,000/- with two sureties of Rs.15,000/- each to his satisfaction on the following conditions: - 1) that the petitioners shall make themselves available for interrogation by a police officer as and when required; 2) that the petitioners shall not directly or indirectly make any inducement, threat or promise to any person acquainted with the facts of the case so as to dissuade him from disclosing such facts to the court or any police officer; and 3) that the petitioners shall not leave India without previous permission of the Court.
