      Shri Vivek Agrawal, Dy. Advocate General for the
respondent-State.Heard counsel for the parties.This is first application for grant of bail underSection
439of Cr.P.C. on behalf of applicant - Praveen Pandey.The applicant has been named as an accused in Crime
No.16/2013     registered   with       Police   Station,   S.T.F.,
Jehangirabad, Bhopal for the offences punishable underSections 420,467,468,471and120-Bof IPC andSections 65,66of I.T. Act andSection 3(d)1,2/4M.P. Manyata Prapt
Pariksha Adhiniyam, 1937.The allegation against the applicant is that he indulged
in unfair means by keeping the answer-sheet blank to be filled
in later on by some one else and for which he had parted with
Rs.5.00 lacs. On the basis of that examination result, he was
declared pass, but, however, did not secure employment in the
final selection process.The fact remains that the counsel for the State, on
instructions of the Investigating Officer, in all fairness,
submits that the charge-sheet has already been filed against the
present applicant and as of now further investigation may not
be necessary qua him. All relevant material has been collated
and filed along with the challan before the concerned Court
 qua the applicant.     In other words, the continuance of the
applicant in jail may not be necessary and the applicant can be
released on bail, on strict conditions.Accordingly, taking overall view of the matter, in the
interest of justice, we direct release of the applicant, if he is not
required in any other case, on following conditions :(1)    The applicant shall furnish personal bond in the sum of
Rs.1,00,000/- (Rupees one lac) with two sureties of the like
amount to the satisfaction of the Trial Court for his regular
appearance during the trial in connection with Crime
No.16/2013;(2)    The applicant will report to the Police Station, Maihar,
District Satna once a week on every Friday between 10.00 a.m.
to 12.00 a.m; and

enumerated underSection 437(3)of Cr.P.C. meticulously.The bail application stands disposed of accordingly.
