Sessions court denies pre-arrest bail to BARC officer accused of duping jobseeker of ₹64 lakh

Hindustan Times  

MUMBAI: The sessions court recently denied the anticipatory bail application of a 56-year-old government servant working at the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, Trombay, who has been accused of misusing his position and duping jobseeker of ₹64 lakh. Usually, a socio-economic offence has deep-rooted conspiracies affecting the moral fibre of the society and causing irreparable harm, hence, needs to be considered seriously,” observed the court, while rejecting the pre-arrest bail plea of Subhashchand Katoch. Katoch was asked to attend the police station on July 2, 2023; however, it was later realized in the reply of the investigating officer that there was no crime registered against Katoch yet, which the court termed as another ground for rejecting his pre-arrest bail. Considering the nature of the offence and role played by the accused, I am of the view that the accused is not entitled for anticipatory bail,” said additional sessions judge A S Salgar.
