3. The offence alleged in all the crimes is punishable under Section 112(2) of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023.

4. The prosecution allegation is as follows:- The applicant and the remaining accused are the members of the gang engaged in cheating the general public by deceitful means. They with a common intention to have unlawful enrichment by way of cheating, using the bank account of accused No.3, transferred money by illegal means from the bank account of the victims and thereafter transferred a portion of the amount to the account of the applicant and the other accused and thereby committed the offence.

5. I have heard the learned counsel for the applicant and the learned Public Prosecutors. Perused the case diary.

6. The learned counsel for the applicant submitted that the applicant is innocent and has been falsely implicated in the present case. The counsel further submitted that no materials are on record to connect the applicant with the alleged crime; hence, he is entitled to bail. On the other hand, the learned Public Prosecutors submitted that the alleged incident occurred as a part of the intentional criminal acts of the applicant, and he is not entitled to bail at this stage.

7. The applicant was remanded to judicial custody on 02.11.2025. The investigation is almost over. The maximum punishment provided for the offence alleged against the applicant is seven years. Since the first arrest of the applicant was on 02.11.2025, in fact, the applicant is entitled for statutory bail. For these reasons, I do not find any reason to hold that the continued detention of the applicant is required for any purpose. Hence, the applicant is entitled to be released on bail.

                  In the result, the applications are allowed on the following conditions: -

                  (i) The applicant shall be released on bail on executing a bond for Rs.1,00,000/- (Rupees One lakh only) each in each case with two solvent sureties for the like sum each to the satisfaction of the jurisdictional Magistrate/Court.
