Upendra Rai vs. Directorate Of Enforcemen, (2019) 07 DEL CK 0134

PARA NO. 14

14. Learned counsel for the petitioner advancing his arguments for grant of bail and rebutting respondent’s contentions contends that CBI registered RC-217-2018 A 0003 under Sections 420 IPC and Section 120B read with Section 13(2) and Section 13(1) of PC Act registered by the CBI on 1st May, 2018. The CBI also registered RC-217-2018 A 0004 under Section 120B read with Section 384 IPC and Section 8 PC Act on 1st May, 2018. In RC 0003 petitioner was arrested on 3rd May, 2018 and granted bail on 8th June, 2018. On the night when he was released from the jail on 8th June, 2018 at 9.45 PM the petitioner was immediately apprehended by the officers of the respondent and a summon under Section 50 PMLA for appearance on 12:20 AM on 9th June, 2018 was handed-over. The ECIR/03/HIU/2018 wherein the petitioner is now seeking bail was only recorded on 9th May, 2018 after his apprehension on 8th May, 2018 and since then the petitioner is in custody in this case. Further on a petition filed before this Court, though the bail granted in RC 0003 was cancelled on 4th September, 2018, however a coordinate Bench of this Court granted bail in this RC on 7th January, 2019. In RC 0004 registered by the CBI, bail was granted by this Court on 11th December, 2018.
