What the Case Was About
A man named Gajraj filed a police complaint stating that he had lost a legal battle regarding his father's service benefits up to the Supreme Court. Soon after, he met people who claimed they had close connections with judges and could get his case resolved in exchange for money. Over time, the complainant paid nearly twenty-eight and a half lakh rupees. He was even shown fake court orders and a fake government cheque for nearly one crore rupees. When he realized he was cheated, a criminal case for fraud and forgery was registered, and Jitender Singh was arrested as one of the accused persons.

The Outcome
The court dismissed the second bail petition, ruling that the accused must remain in custody given the gravity of the allegations.
What the Court Looked At
- The court noted that the petitioner was seeking regular bail for the second time after his first petition was dismissed on merits a few months earlier.
- The petitioner argued he had spent seventeen months in custody and that the trial had slowed down without new witnesses being examined.
- The State argued there was no major change in circumstances since the previous bail rejection to justify releasing the petitioner now.
- The court observed that the allegations involved a well-planned scheme to trick gullible litigants by falsely claiming influence over judges.
- The court stressed that spending a few more months in custody and a delayed trial alone were not enough to grant bail given the seriousness of the crime.
"Any attempt by individuals to exploit innocent or gullible litigants by falsely portraying access or influence over judicial functioning... undermines public confidence in the rule of law."
What This Means For You
This case sends a loud warning about fraudsters who target desperate families fighting long court battles by pretending they can buy favorable judgments. The petitioner tried to secure bail by arguing he was merely a driver and had already spent many months behind bars, but the court refused to show leniency because the financial cheating and fake judicial influence were so severe. If you or someone you know is locked in a difficult legal battle, never trust anyone who promises an out-of-court fix or demands cash to influence judges. Falling for such promises can easily drag you into a criminal conspiracy case as an accused, destroying your freedom and your savings.
