¶1Heard Sri Ajeet Kumar, holding brief of Sri Om Prakash Nag, the learned counsel for the applicant as well as Sri Amitabh Chaturvedi, the learned Additional Government Advocate appearing on behalf of the State and perused the records.
¶2The instant application has been filed by the applicants seeking anticipatory bail in F.I.R. bearing Case Crime No. 394 of 2023, under Sections 419, 420, 467, 468, 471, 120-B IPC, Police Station Kotwali Nagar, District Ayodhya.
¶3The aforesaid case has been registered on the basis of a F.I.R. lodged on
26.06.2023 alleging that during examination for making selection to the post of Village Development Officer, the co-accused was appearing in place of the applicant.
¶4In the affidavit filed in support of the application, it has been stated that the applicant is innocent, he has been falsely implicated in the present case and he has no criminal history.
¶5The co-accused person has been granted regular bail.
¶6Having considered the facts and circumstances of the case and keeping in view the fact that the applicant tried to secure appointment to a public post by making some other person write examination paper in his place, I am of the view that the aforesaid facts do not warrant exercise of discretion of this Court by granting pre-arrest bail to the applicant.
¶7The anticipatory bail application is rejected accordingly. However, in case the applicant files an application for grant of bail, the same shall be considered and decided on its merits, without being influenced by any observations made in this order.
