G. Satapathy, J.

2. These five bail applications are U/S.483 of BNS S by the petitioners for grant of bail in connection with Economic Offence PS Case No.17 of 2025 arising out of GR Case No.1757 of 2025 for commission of offences punishable U/Ss. 318(4)/319(2) of r/w Section 66 (D) of the IT Act pending in the Court of learned SDJM, Angul.
3. The gist of the allegation as found out from the FIR is that the complainant was duped with a sum of Rs. 52,26,000/- by way of cyber fraud and he had deposited the aforesaid sum of money in five different current accounts on the allurement of getting high returns, but the complainant had also deposited an amount of Rs. 11,00,000/- & Rs. 10,00,000
The court granted bail to the petitioners in economic offences, emphasizing the presumption of innocence and considering the nature of allegations and duration of custody.
The court granted bail to petitioners charged with cybercrime, considering their custodial duration and lack of flight risk, as allegations were not substantiated by strong evidence warranting contin....
Bail is the rule, not the exception; accusations must be substantiated for pre-trial detention. Allegations based solely on documentary evidence without direct involvement in the crime warrant bail.
Court evaluates individual circumstances and gravity of alleged offences for bail eligibility, considering prior criminal history and pre-trial detention duration.
