Reason:
Diary No.18979/2026
1. Delay condoned.
2. The petitioner has been denied regular bail by the High
Court in connection with Crime No. 247 of 2023 registered with
Manendragarh Police Station, District Manendragarh-Chirhniri-
Bharatpur (C.G.) for the offence punishable under Sections 420
read with 34 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 (for short, “the
IPC”) and Section 66(D) of the Information and Technology Act,
2000 (for short, “the IT Act”), Sections 4 and 6, respectively
of the Prize Chits and Money Circulation Schemes (Banning)
Act, 1978, and Sections 6 and 10, respectively of
Chhattisgarh Nikshepakon Ke Hito Ka Sanrakshan Adhiniyam (CG
Protection of Depositors Interests Act).
2. The case of the prosecution against the present
petitioner and the other two co-accused appears to be one of
some Ponzi Scheme.
3. We heard the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner
and the learned counsel appearing for the State.
4. We take notice of the fact that the trial is in progress.
Five witnesses have been examined so far.
5. We are informed that all five witnesses examined so far

Diary No.18979/2026
have turned hostile. Since, the trial is in progress, we are
not inclined to exercise our discretion at this point of time.
6. However, considering the fact that all the offences with
which the petitioner has been charged are magistrate-triable
and also keeping in mind the maximum punishment that the Trial
Court can impose in law, we direct the Trial Court to see that
the entire trial is completed within a period of six months
from today.
7. For any good reason if the trial is not completed within
six months, it shall be open for the petitioner to once again
apply for bail before the Trial Court on the ground of delay
in conclusion of trial and his right to have speedy trial.
8. With the aforesaid, the Special Leave Petition stands
disposed of.
9. Pending application(s), if any, stands disposed of.
