On 18th December, 2010<br \/>\n\tthe complainant had filed complaint against Padmavati Agencies<br \/>\n\tPrivate Limited and its six Directors and accountant of  Padmavati<br \/>\n\tAgencies Private Limited at Dahej Police Station.  As per the case<br \/>\n\tof the complainant, the Hindalco Industries was importing various<br \/>\n\tmaterials for manufacturing activities of the industry.  For paying<br \/>\n\tCustom Duty, M\/s.Hindalco Industries used to purchase duty free<br \/>\n\tlicenses from market, which are freely saleble \/ transferable,<br \/>\n\tgranted by Director General of Foreign Trade to various exporters as<br \/>\n\tincentives.  In the market, such duty free licenses namely Duty<br \/>\n\tEntitlement Pass Book (DEPB) and Vises Krisi Upaj Yojna (VKUY) are<br \/>\n\tavailable on sale. The complainant has stated that they had<br \/>\n\tpurchased various duty free licenses from one Padmavati Agency Pvt.<br \/>\n\tLtd. On various dates and for various amounts. There was bond<br \/>\n\texecuted by Padmavati Pvt. Ltd. to compensate, in case licenses are<br \/>\n\tnot permitted to be utilised. On 19th November, 2010,<br \/>\n\tofficers of DRI called the complainant and his colleague Mr.Mathur.<br \/>\n\tDuring inquiry, the officers of DRI had shown certain duty free<br \/>\n\tlicenses to the complainant and it was shown that eight licenses are<br \/>\n\tforged documents, pursuant to which the complainant had approached<br \/>\n\tPadmavati Agencies Pvt. Ltd. and its Directors by writing letters<br \/>\n\tseeking explanation about forged licenses. However, neither response<br \/>\n\twas given by accused No.1, nor from its Directors \/ office bearers.<br \/>\n\tPursuant to which the present complaint was registered by the<br \/>\n\tcomplainant being officers of M\/s.Hindalco Industries against<br \/>\n\tPadmavati Agencies and its Directors and accountant.\n<\/p>\n<p>Heard<br \/>\n\tMr.Prakash Thakkar, learned senior counsel with Mr.Parth Tolia,<br \/>\n\tlearned counsel for the applicant, Mr.K.L. Pandya, learned<br \/>\n\tAdditional Public Prosecutor appearing for respondent-State and<br \/>\n\tMr.B.B. Naik, learned senior counsel for original complainant.\n<\/p>\n<p>Mr.Thakkar<br \/>\n\thas read the contention of Section 405 and 415 of the Indian Penal<br \/>\n\tCode and vehemently contended that from the ingredient of Section<br \/>\n\t405 of the Indian Penal Code, entrustment and dominion over the<br \/>\n\tproperty is required to be established beyond reasonable doubt.<br \/>\n\tMr.Thakkar has further contended that from the contents of<br \/>\n\tcomplaint, main ingredient of Section 405 and 415 of the Indian<br \/>\n\tPenal Code is not established and it is also not established from<br \/>\n\tthe charge-sheet papers to show that present complainant is a person<br \/>\n\tthrough whom entrustment and dominion over the property is made to<br \/>\n\tthe present applicant. He has also contended that as per the<br \/>\n\tcomplaint, the name of Padmavati Agencies Pvt. Ltd. is shown, but,<br \/>\n\tprima-facie, no evidence is produced on the record to connect the<br \/>\n\tpresent applicant with Padmavati Agencies Pvt. Ltd. He has also<br \/>\n\tcontended that the applicant is not the Director or office bearers<br \/>\n\tof the said Padmavati Agencies Pvt. Ltd. He has also further<br \/>\n\tcontended that the present proceedings is, in fact, successive<br \/>\n\tprosecution of the prosecution of DRI. He has also further contended<br \/>\n\tthat through DRI, certain statements were recorded and even from the<br \/>\n\tcharge-sheet papers, that statements are not part of the<br \/>\n\tinvestigation or case of the prosecution. Mr.Thakkar has also read<br \/>\n\tthe charge-sheet papers and contended that prosecution has no<br \/>\n\tevidence to say that whether that licenses are forged or bogus and<br \/>\n\tin support thereof, prosecution has not produced any expert opinion<br \/>\n\tto say as to whether that licenses are prepared  or made by present<br \/>\n\tapplicant or not. He has further contended that when, prima-facie,<br \/>\n\tit is established that applicant has no connection whatsoever with<br \/>\n\tPadmavati Agencies Pvt. Ltd. He has further contended that<br \/>\n\tco-accused Mr.Piyush Surendrabhai Viramgama is released on bail by<br \/>\n\tthis Court vide order dated 23rd September, 2011. He has<br \/>\n\tfurther contended that investigation is over and charge-sheet is<br \/>\n\talready filed. He has read the contents of the FIR and vehemently<br \/>\n\tcontended that applicant is not named in the FIR. He has further<br \/>\n\tread the contents of FIR and contended that name of Padmavati<br \/>\n\tAgencies Pvt. Ltd. and its office bearers is shown, but  none of<br \/>\n\tthem are arrested till date. He has further contended that<br \/>\n\tprima-facie it is established that the applicant has no connection<br \/>\n\twith Padmavati Agencies Pvt. Ltd. He has further contended that the<br \/>\n\tentire prosecution case is based on the investigation of DRI only<br \/>\n\tand the fact is undisputed and admitted and DRI is not in a position<br \/>\n\tto file charge-sheet till date. He has further contended that there<br \/>\n\tis no iota of evidence in the entire charge-sheet, except statements<br \/>\n\tof the complainant, such other persons including DRI officers, which<br \/>\n\titself is not sufficient to detain the present applicant as it fails<br \/>\n\tto make out any prima-facie case. Mr.Thakkar has also contended that<br \/>\n\twhen there is no evidence to connect the present applicant with<br \/>\n\tPadmavati Agencies Pvt. Ltd. and when the prosecution has failed to<br \/>\n\tproduced on record any expert opinion of FSL to show that the<br \/>\n\tpresent applicant has prepared or made the said licenses, present<br \/>\n\tapplicant may kindly be released on bail. He has further contended<br \/>\n\tthat role of the present applicant is not established, beyond<br \/>\n\treasonable doubt, to say that main ingredient of Section 415 of the<br \/>\n\tIndian Penal Code is established against the present applicant. He<br \/>\n\thas also read Sections 463 and 464 of the Indian Penal Code and also<br \/>\n\tfurther contended that prosecution failed to establish from the<br \/>\n\tcharge-sheet papers to say that main ingredient of both the<br \/>\n\tprovisions of law is established against the present applicant. He<br \/>\n\thas also contended that Section 471 of the Indian Penal Code &#8220;used<br \/>\n\tforged documents as genuine&#8221; is a bailable offence. He has<br \/>\n\tfurther contended that in Criminal Miscellaneous Application No.7483<br \/>\n\tof 2011 the co-ordinate Bench of this Court has considered the case<br \/>\n\tof the co-accused and even this Court has also considered the case<br \/>\n\tof co-accused in Criminal Miscellaneous Application No.12793 of<br \/>\n\t2011. Mr.Thakkar has further contended that M\/s.Hindalco Industries<br \/>\n\thas filed Civil Suits before the City Civil Court, and from that<br \/>\n\tCivil Suits also, it appears that the transaction was not with the<br \/>\n\tpresent applicant and even there is no previty of contract between<br \/>\n\tthe applicant and the complainant. Mr.Thakkar has also contended<br \/>\n\tthat from the statement dated 18th December, 2010 of<br \/>\n\tMr.B.K. Pilaniwala, it appears that there are allegations only<br \/>\n\tagainst the officers of Padmavati Agencies Pvt. Ltd. and not against<br \/>\n\tthe present applicant. The statement of Mr.Piliniwala do not<br \/>\n\timplicate, in any manner, the present applicant with the alleged<br \/>\n\toffence in question. He has further contended that in the said<br \/>\n\tfactual background of this application, the present proceedings is<br \/>\n\tin fact successive prosecution of the prosecution of DRI. In fact it<br \/>\n\thad been revealed from the DRI proceedings and the Civil Suit<br \/>\n\tNo.2525 of 2010 filed by M\/s.Hindalco Industries that one Shivangi<br \/>\n\tEnterprise, which is a proprietorship company of Mr.Vijay Gadia (who<br \/>\n\tis working with Mr.Piyush Viramgama), sold various licenses to one<br \/>\n\tVani Exports, proprietorship of Mr.Girish Ghelani, who in turn sold<br \/>\n\tthe said licenses to M\/s.Padmavati Agencies Private Limited, which<br \/>\n\thas further sold to M\/s.Hindalco Industries. The applicant and his<br \/>\n\tcompany viz. Sankalp Creation P. Ltd. has no role in selling \/<br \/>\n\ttransferring of such free licenses. The applicant has no transaction<br \/>\n\tat all with the complainant company in whatsoever manner. He has<br \/>\n\tfurther contended that even during the interrogation of DRI and<br \/>\n\tduring search, nothing incriminating is found from the applicant.<br \/>\n\tThe fake seals and other materials found from the place of Mr.Piyush<br \/>\n\tViramgama and Mr.Vijay Gadia of Shivangi Enterprise. With a view to<br \/>\n\twriggle out severe criminal and civil responsibility of the office<br \/>\n\tbearers of M\/s.Padmavati Agencies Pvt. Ltd., implicated the present<br \/>\n\tapplicant by filing the complaint against him. In fact, there was no<br \/>\n\ttransaction of complainant or M\/s.Padmavati Agencies Pvt. Ltd. with<br \/>\n\tthe applicant. Mr.Thakkar has further contended that the co-accused<br \/>\n\thas already been released on bail by this Court and therefore, on<br \/>\n\tthe ground of parity, present applicant may also be released on<br \/>\n\tbail. He has further contended that it is the duty of the<br \/>\n\tInvestigating Officer to collect documents from DRI. He has further<br \/>\n\tcontended that even from the filing of charge-sheet, it shows that<br \/>\n\tthe present Investigating Officer is negligent and even from the<br \/>\n\tcharge-sheet papers, prima-facie, no case is made out against the<br \/>\n\tpresent applicant. He has further contended that certain other<br \/>\n\tcompanies are also involved, but they are not cited as accused in<br \/>\n\tthe charge-sheet. He has also contended that the investigation is<br \/>\n\tbiased. Just to protect skin of real culprits, present applicant is<br \/>\n\twrongly booked by the Investigating Agency. He, therefore, contended<br \/>\n\tthat looking to the facts of the case and overall circumstances,<br \/>\n\tapplicant may kindly be released on bail.\n<\/p>\n<p>As<br \/>\n\tagainst this, Mr.K.L. Pandya, learned Additional Public Prosecutor,<br \/>\n\thas vehemently opposed the present application and contended that<br \/>\n\tthe applicant is involved in a serious offence of fraud and forgery.<br \/>\n\tBecause of the act of the applicant, Government has suffered a huge<br \/>\n\tloss. Prima-facie case and role of the applicant is proved beyond<br \/>\n\treasonable doubt and therefore, no leniency can be awarded to the<br \/>\n\tapplicant. He, therefore, contended that the present application may<br \/>\n\tkindly be rejected.\n<\/p>\n<p>Mr.B.B.\n<\/p>\n<p>\tNaik, learned senior counsel for the original complainant, has<br \/>\n\tsupported the case of the prosecution. He has contended that<br \/>\n\tco-ordinate Bench of this Court has rejected the application of the<br \/>\n\tpresent applicant in different Crime Register Number vide order<br \/>\n\tdated 23rd September, 2011. The co-ordinate Bench has in<br \/>\n\tits order observed that 85 licenses were forged. He has contended<br \/>\n\tthat present applicant is a creator of bogus, fraud and forged<br \/>\n\tlicenses and from Khanpur, the said licenses were distributed. He<br \/>\n\thas further contended that the present applicant is one of the<br \/>\n\tconspirators. He has also contended that looking to the charge-sheet<br \/>\n\tpapers, when prima-facie case is made out against the applicant,<br \/>\n\tpresent application cannot be entertained. Mr.Naik has also read the<br \/>\n\tletter dated 22nd January, 2011 of DRI addressed to the<br \/>\n\tInvestigating Officer and contended that present applicant is a key<br \/>\n\tplanner. He has further contended that due to negligency on the part<br \/>\n\tof the Investigating Officer, applicant-accused cannot be released<br \/>\n\teasily. He has further contended that DRI has arrested the accused<br \/>\n\tand they are released due to default bail. He has further contended<br \/>\n\tthat, prima-facie, it is established that forged licenses are<br \/>\n\tcirculated. He, therefore, contended that the present application is<br \/>\n\trequired to be rejected.\n<\/p>\n<p>Heard<br \/>\n\tlearned counsel for the respective parties and also perused papers<br \/>\n\tproduced before me. In  this case, charge-sheet is already filed. It<br \/>\n\tis the duty of the prosecution to establish main ingredient of<br \/>\n\tSections 405 and 415 of the Indian Penal Code. So far as question<br \/>\n\tregarding entrustment and dominion over the property is concerned, I<br \/>\n\thave not found any substance from the charge-sheet papers to say<br \/>\n\tthat, prima-facie, case is established against the present<br \/>\n\tapplicant. It also appears from the papers that till date DRI has<br \/>\n\tnot filed the charge-sheet or not issued any show cause notice to<br \/>\n\tconnect the applicant in the offence alleged against him. It appears<br \/>\n\tthat the Investigating Officer has never bothered to obtain any<br \/>\n\tevidence from DRI. The Investigating Officer has failed to produce<br \/>\n\tany documentary evidence to connect the present applicant with<br \/>\n\tM\/s.Padmavati Agencies Pvt. Ltd. Court is not entering into the<br \/>\n\tmerits of the case, but it is the duty of the Court to see that as<br \/>\n\tto whether prima-facie case is made out or not. It is the duty of<br \/>\n\tthe prosecution to prove that from whom the forged licenses in<br \/>\n\tquestion is recovered and who has prepared or made the said forged<br \/>\n\tand bogus licenses. In the present case, the prosecution has failed<br \/>\n\tto prove beyond reasonable doubt that the said forged and bogus<br \/>\n\tlicenses are prepared or made by the applicant.  Even the<br \/>\n\tInvestigating Officer has not produced any evidence from FSL to show<br \/>\n\tthat the present applicant has prepared or made the said bogus<br \/>\n\tlicenses. The offences alleged against the applicant are triable by<br \/>\n\tthe Court of Magistrate. In the present case, charge-sheet is filed<br \/>\n\tand it is not the case of the prosecution that there are chances<br \/>\n\tthat applicant may absconding or the applicant may tamper with the<br \/>\n\tevidence. The case is rest upon the documentary evidence.\n<\/p>\n<p> \tI<br \/>\nhave also perused the order passed by the Court below as also the<br \/>\norder passed by this Court. Looking to the papers, I have not found<br \/>\ndirect involvement of the present applicant in the offence in<br \/>\nquestion. The order passed by the co-ordinate Bench of this Court<br \/>\nreleasing the co-accused on bail has made observations that, (I) the<br \/>\nfinancial loss caused to the Department appears to have been made<br \/>\ngood by M\/s.Hindalco Industries Ltd., Dahej; (ii) all the offences<br \/>\nare magistrate triable offences; (iii) investigation is over and<br \/>\ncharge-sheet is filed; (iv) applicant is a permanent resident of<br \/>\nRajkot and is residing with his family at Rajkot; (v) the entire case<br \/>\nof the prosecution is based on documentary evidence.\n<\/p>\n<p>In<br \/>\n\tthe facts and circumstances of the case and considering the nature<br \/>\n\tof allegations and role attributed to the applicant and now the<br \/>\n\tcharge-sheet is filed, without entering into the merits of the case,<br \/>\n\tprima facie, this Court is of the opinion that this is a fit case to<br \/>\n\texercise the discretion to enlarge the applicant on bail.\n<\/p>\n<p>Hence,<br \/>\n\tthe applicant is ordered to be released on bail in connection with<br \/>\n\tCR No.I-77 of 2010 registered with Dahej Police Station, District<br \/>\n\tBharuch, for the offence alleged against him in this application on<br \/>\n\this executing a personal bond of Rs.50,000\/- (Rupees Fifty Thousand<br \/>\n\tOnly) with one solvent surety of the like amount to the satisfaction<br \/>\n\tof the trial Court and subject to the conditions that he shall &#8211;\n<\/p>\n<p>a)\tnot<br \/>\ntake undue advantage of his liberty or\tabuse \this liberty;\n<\/p>\n<p>b)\tnot<br \/>\nto try to tamper or pressurise the prosecution \twitnesses or<br \/>\ncomplainant in any manner;\n<\/p>\n<p>c)\tmaintain<br \/>\nlaw and order and should cooperate the \tInvestigating Officer;\n<\/p>\n<p>d)\tnot<br \/>\nact in a manner injurious to the interest of\tthe prosecution;\n<\/p>\n<p>e)\tmark<br \/>\nhis presence before the Investigating\tOfficer on every 15th<br \/>\nday of each English calendar \tmonth between 09.00 hours and 14.00<br \/>\nhours;\n<\/p>\n<p>f)\tnot<br \/>\nleave the State of Gujarat without prior\tpermission of the Sessions<br \/>\nJudge concerned;\n<\/p>\n<p>g)\tfurnish<br \/>\nthe address of his residence to the\tInvestigating Officer\tand also to<br \/>\nthe Court at the \ttime of execution of \tthe bond and shall not\tchange<br \/>\nthe residence without prior permission of\tthis Court;\n<\/p>\n<p>h)\tsurrender<br \/>\n\this passport, if any, to the lower Court\twithin a week.\n<\/p>\n<p>If<br \/>\n\tthe breach of any of the above conditions is committed, the<br \/>\n\tconcerned Court will be free to issue warrant or take appropriate<br \/>\n\taction in the matter.\n<\/p>\n<p>Bail<br \/>\n\tbefore the lower Court having jurisdiction to try the case.
