      Dated this the 16th day of January, 2025


                   COMMON               ORDER

These Bail Applications filed under Section 482 of

Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita are connected, and

therefore I am disposing these cases by a common order.

2. Petitioner in these cases is one and the

same. The petitioner is the accused in different crimes

registered by Pavaratty Police Station, Thrissur District. The

above cases are registered against the petitioner alleging

offences punishable under Sections 406 and 420 read with

Section 34 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).

3. The prosecution case is that the petitioner

committed cheating by making the defacto complainant to

believe that he will give 12% interest, if the defacto
2025:KER:3415
B.A No.10291 of 2024 and Conn.Case

:15:
complainant deposits an amount in the company in which

the petitioner is the additional director. It is submitted that,

even though the defacto complainant paid the said amount

the principal or interest was not returned. Hence it is

alleged that the accused committed the above said

offences.

4. Heard the learned counsel appearing for

the petitioner and the learned Public Prosecutor.

5. The counsel appearing for the petitioner

submitted that the petitioner is also a victim of this

company. He also deposited a huge amount in the

company. He produced the fixed deposit receipts along

with this bail application. He submitted that, when the

deposited amount was asked, the petitioner was

fraudulently added as a director. It is submitted that the

allegation against the petitioner is not correct.

6. The Public Prosecutor opposed the bail

application and submitted that the petitioner is the
2025:KER:3415
B.A No.10291 of 2024 and Conn.Case

:16:
accused in 15 other cases in which the allegations are

same.

7. This Court considered the contentions of

the petitioner and the Public Prosecutor. The crux of the

prosecution case is that the amount deposited offering

18% interest was not returned with interest. Whether the

same would attract the offence under Section 420 IPC is a

matter to be investigated by the Investigating Officer. I

don’t want to make any observation about the same.

Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, I think

the bail can be granted after imposing stringent conditions.

8. Moreover, it is a well accepted principle

that the bail is the rule and the jail is the exception. The

Hon’ble Supreme Court in Chidambaram. P v

Directorate of Enforcement [2019 (16) SCALE 870],

after considering all the earlier judgments, observed that,

the basic jurisprudence relating to bail remains the same

inasmuch as the grant of bail is the rule and refusal is the
2025:KER:3415
B.A No.10291 of 2024 and Conn.Case

:17:
exception so as to ensure that the accused has the

opportunity of securing fair trial.

9. Recently the Apex Court in Siddharth v

State of Uttar Pradesh and Another [2021(5)KHC

353] considered the point in detail. The relevant paragraph

of the above judgment is extracted hereunder.

“12. We may note that personal liberty
is an important aspect of our
constitutional mandate. The occasion to
arrest an accused during investigation
arises when custodial investigation
becomes necessary or it is a heinous
crime or where there is a possibility of
influencing the witnesses or accused
may abscond. Merely because an arrest
can be made because it is lawful does
not mandate that arrest must be made.
A distinction must be made between
the existence of the power to arrest
and the justification for exercise of it.
(Joginder Kumar v. State of UP and
Others
(1994 KHC 189: (1994) 4 SCC
260: 1994 (1) KLT 919: 1994 (2) KLJ 97:

AIR 1994 SC 1349: 1994 CriLJ 1981)) If
2025:KER:3415
B.A No.10291 of 2024 and Conn.Case

:18:
arrest is made routine, it can cause
incalculable harm to the reputation and
self-esteem of a person. If the
Investigating Officer has no reason to
believe that the accused will abscond
or disobey summons and has, in fact,
throughout cooperated with the
investigation we fail to appreciate why
there should be a compulsion on the
officer to arrest the accused.”

10. In Manish Sisodia v. Central Bureau of

Investigation [2023 KHC 6961], the Apex Court

observed that even if the allegation is one of grave

economic offence, it is not a rule that bail should be denied

in every case.

Considering the dictum laid down in the above

decision and considering the facts and circumstances of

this case, this Bail Application is allowed with the following

directions:

1. The petitioner shall appear before the

Investigating Officer within two weeks
2025:KER:3415
B.A No.10291 of 2024 and Conn.Case

:19:
from today and shall undergo

interrogation.

2. After interrogation, if the Investigating

Officer propose to arrest the petitioner,

he shall be released on bail on executing

a bond for a sum of Rs.50,000/-(Rupees

Fifty Thousand only) with two solvent

sureties each for the like sum to the

satisfaction of the arresting officer

concerned.

3. The petitioner shall appear before the

Investigating Officer for interrogation as

and when required. The petitioner shall

co-operate with the investigation and

shall not, directly or indirectly make any

inducement, threat or promise to any

person acquainted with the facts of the

case so as to dissuade him from
2025:KER:3415
B.A No.10291 of 2024 and Conn.Case

:20:
disclosing such facts to the Court or to

any police officer.

4. Petitioner shall not leave India without

permission of the jurisdictional Court.

5. Petitioner shall not commit an offence

similar to the offence of which he is

accused, or suspected, of the commission

of which he is suspected.

6. Needless to mention, it would be well

within the powers of the investigating

officer to investigate the matter and, if

necessary, to effect recoveries on the

information, if any, given by the

petitioner even while the petitioner is on

bail as laid down by the Hon’ble Supreme

Court in Sushila Aggarwal v. State

(NCT of Delhi) and another [2020 (1)

KHC 663].

2025:KER:3415
B.A No.10291 of 2024 and Conn.Case

:21:

7. If any of the above conditions are

violated by the petitioner, the

jurisdictional Court can cancel the bail in

accordance to law, even though the bail is

granted by this Court. The prosecution

and the victim are at liberty to approach

the jurisdictional Court to cancel the bail,

if any of the above conditions are

violated.
