HON'BLE DR. JUSTICE NUPUR BHATI
Order
27/04/2026
1. The instant bail application has been filed by the petitioner
under Section 483 BNSS who has been arrested in connection with
the FIR No.02/2023 dated 30.03.2023 registered at the Police
Station Cyber (Rajsamand), District Rajsamand, for the offences
under Sections 419, 420, 465, 468 & 120B of IPC and Sections 66-C
and 66-D of the Information Technology Act.
2. Briefly stated, the facts of the case are that on 30.03.2023,
complainant Madan Singh lodged a written report with the In-charge,
Cyber Police Station, Rajsamand, stating therein that he received
summon dated 08.03.2023 from ITO Ward-1, Rajsamand, under
Section 147 of the Income Tax Act, 1961, alleging ₹48,39,360/- tax
demand on ₹16,13,12,000/- scrap-sale income for FY 2018-19 by M/
s Pioneer Industries (Proprietor: Shri Madan Singh, Mangalore

learned that some unknown persons had opened a fake Bank of

Baroda account (No.5250100011145, Mangalore) using his PAN
without consent, despite his sole legitimate Account
No.30260100026060, Bhim Branch; and misused his details via
computer fraud to alter his mobile/address and e-file false ITRs for
FY 2017-18/2018-19 using Aadhaar OTP. Earlier, in 2020, a similar
Mangalore notice was replied to by post. These acts tampering with
documents, forging company registration, and conducting crores in
fictitious transactions, thereby cheated him with dishonest intent,
causing wrongful loss and tax liability; appropriate action is sought
against the culprits while safeguarding him.
3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner
has been falsely implicated in the present case and bears no
connection whatsoever with the alleged offences. He submits that
the petitioner has never associated with the alleged fake company,
neither misused the complainant’s PAN card or any other documents
nor used them for any wrongful purpose, and has not carried out any
transactions or received any amount through the alleged account.
Further, since the petitioner had no contact or interaction with the
complainant, the question of opening any fake company or account
on the basis of the complainant’s documents does not arise. The
petitioner has been in custody since 07.01.2026 and the
investigation is complete, with no further recovery to be effected
from him. He further submits that charge sheet reveals the petitioner
was found in possession of four SIM cards, including Mobile
No.8050193495 used to open the account in the name of M/s
Pioneer Industries, yet the recovery memo confirms that this SIM
was not recovered from the petitioner. Lastly, learned counsel for the

petitioner argued that the offences are triable by the court of
Magistrate and, therefore, the petitioner may be enlarged on bail.
4. Per contra, learned Public Prosecutor opposes the bail
application, however, is not in a position to refute the fact that the
petitioner has not been named in the FIR and that the petitioner has
no previous criminal antecedents of similar nature. He further admits
that charge sheet has been filed. Learned Public Prosecutor also does
not refute the fact that the offences, alleged, are triable by the court
of Magistrate.
5. Having considered the submissions advanced at Bar by learned
counsel for the parties and having regard to the entirety of facts and
circumstances of the case as available on record; and looking to the
fact that trial may take a long time to conclude and, without
expressing any opinion on the merits/demerits of the case, this Court
deems it fit to enlarge the petitioner on bail.
5. Consequently, the bail application is allowed. It is ordered that
the accused petitioner Mangilal Alias Pappu S/o Mukaram
Vishnoi arrested in connection with FIR No.02/2023 dated
30.03.2023 registered at the Police Station Cyber (Rajsamand),
District Rajsamand shall be released on bail; provided he furnishes a
personal bond in the sum of Rs.50,000/- and two sureties of
Rs.25,000/- each to the satisfaction of the learned trial Court, with a
stipulation to appear before that Court on all dates of hearing and as
and when called upon to do so.
