Juli @ Muskan Khatoon @ Muskan Praween v. The State of Bihar
Case brief
What is this about?
Patna High Court, single-judge oral order of Honourable Mr. Justice Anjani Kumar Sharan dated 24-07-2024, dismissing anticipatory-bail application Criminal Miscellaneous No.46531 of 2024 arising out of Narhat P.S. Case No.466 of 2023 (District Nawada). Petitioner Juli @ Muskan Khatoon @ Muskan Praween apprehended arrest for offences under Sections 420 and 379 IPC relating to an alleged fake interest-free Rs. Two Lakh Government-loan scheme (Rs.50,000/- 'agreement expense'; loans via Bandhan Bank and other banks; Aadhar card photocopies taken). Counsel argued innocence, false implication with ulterior motive, no recovery of incriminating articles, no documentary evidence, and clean antecedents; the APP opposed citing specific allegations of cheating innocent people. Court found the nature of allegation insufficient to justify bail; anticipatory bail rejected and application dismissed. No precedents cited.
