CRM-8230-2023
In view of the reasons mentioned in the application, the same is allowed and the documents annexed with the application are taken on record as Annexures P-8 to P-12 subject to all just exceptions.
CRM-M-4117-2023 (Main Case)
1. The petitioner seeks grant of anticipatory bail in respect of a case registered vide FIR No.01, dated 10.1.2023 at Police Station State Vigilance Bureau, Hisar, under Sections 7, 13(1)(b) of the Prevention of Corruption Act read with Section 13(2) of P.C. Act.
2. The FIR was lodged at the instance of Vikram Singh, wherein it is alleged that he has a contractor license and had undertaken work of installation of water pipe line from Bus Stand Village Matana to main chowk Hanuman Mandir and had spent an amount of Rs.1 lakh on the said work. The complainant alleged that when he met Tarun Garg (petitioner), XEN, Public Health Department, Fatehabad at his residence for release of payment in respect of the said bill, he demanded an amount of Rs.20,000/- and that he (complainant) paid an amount of Rs.9,000/- to the petitioner and the remaining amount of Rs.11,000/- was to be paid on 10.1.2023. The complainant claim
Insufficiency of evidence to justify custodial interrogation in a case of alleged bribery.
The fabrication of documents to conceal guilt can negatively impact a petitioner's credibility and influence the court's decision on granting anticipatory bail.
The court considered the evidence, circumstances, and the petitioner's detention period to determine the justification for his further detention and granted bail accordingly.
The presumption of innocence does not alone justify anticipatory bail; public interest in corruption cases may necessitate its denial.
