What the Case Was About
An informant accused Chandrashekhar Ramadhar Mallah of cheating them out of a massive sum of 41 lakh rupees. The police registered a case under strict cyber crime laws and financial fraud provisions. Once arrested, the accused approached the High Court seeking bail. His lawyer argued that the accusations were false, that there was a legitimate business transaction behind the money transfer, and that the applicant had already spent months locked up in jail since February 2026 without any prior criminal record.
Judgment Date
9 October, 2026
The Outcome
The court ruled in favour of the applicant and allowed the bail application. The judge directed that the applicant be released from jail after providing proper bonds and sureties, as long as he cooperates with the court and does not tamper with any evidence.
What the Court Looked At
- The applicant's lawyer argued that the accused was innocent and falsely accused of a crime he did not commit.
- The defence pointed out that the financial transfer was actually part of a business transaction between the parties, not a cyber scam.
- The court noted that the applicant had no prior criminal history and had already been behind bars since February 2026.
- The State lawyer strongly opposed the release, but could not effectively disprove the arguments raised by the defence counsel.
