Case Law Details
Yogender Singh Vs. State of Haryana (Court of Anil Kaushik, Gurugram)
Facts- Appellant claimed that he is a victim of high handedness of the Intelligence Officers and is languishing in custody since 23.10.2021. It is argued that the applicant has nothing to do with the accused firms i.e. M/s Lalaji Enterprises and M/s Hemu Overseas and has been falsely implicated in the present case by the officials. The allegation against the accused are that few signed and unsigned documents of the said firms were found in his office. It has been specifically submitted that the applicant is doing accounting for various firms, including aforesaid firms and few documents were in the office premises but the officials falsely planted various documents to bring some credibility to their false story. Even prima facie no offence whatsoever has been committed by the applicant.
Conclusion- This court is of considered view that the present accused does not deserves to be released on bail. It is settled preposition of law that economic offences in itself are considered to be gravest offence against the society at large and hence are required to be treated differently in the matter of bail. It seems that the entire community would aggrieve if the economic offenders who ruin the economy of the State are not brought to book as such offences affects the very fabric of democratic governance and probity in public life. Further, if a murder committed in the heat of moment upon passing being aroused, the economic offence is supposed to be committed with cool calculation and deliberately with an eye on personal profit regardless of the consequence of the community. A disregard for the interest of the community can be manifested only at the cost of forfeiting the trust and faith of the community in the system to administer justice in an even handed manner without fear of criticism from the quarters which view white collar crimes with a permissive eye unmindful of the damage done to the national economy and national interest.
