The Allahabad High Court has rejected the anticipatory bail application of a bank officer, who was accused of forged verification of loans worth crores of rupees.
A Single-Judge Bench of Justice Siddharth passed this order on May 27, while hearing a Criminal Miscellaneous Anticipatory Bail Application filed by Rajesh Kumar, under Section 438 of IPC.
CBI Counsel Sanjay Kumar Yadav informed the Court that charge sheet already has been submitted against the applicant.
Mr Yadav pointed out that the anticipatory bail rejection order of the court below showed that a charge sheet has been filed, but the same has not been annexed, which shows the concealment of fact.
Counsel for the applicant prayed for protection to obtain bail from the court.
“On the request of Counsel for the applicant, it is directed that the applicant will appear and surrender before the court below within 60 days from today and apply for bail. Till then, no coercive action shall be taken against the applicant,” the Court said.
“However, in case, the applicant does not appears before the court below within the aforesaid period, coercive action shall be taken against him”, the Court ordered.
“It is made clear that the applicant will not be granted any further time by the court for surrendering before the court below as directed above”, the order read.
