Ravindra Saxena vs State Of Rajasthan on 15 December, 2009

4. I have heard Mr PM Thakkar, learned Senior Counsel for the applicants and Mr DC Sejpal, learned APP for the State at length and in great detail. I have considered the role attributed to the applicants as reflected in the FIR, police papers, statement of witnesses and other material which is produced for my perusal. Since the application preferred by the applicants is under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure and they are seeking anticipatory bail, it would not be proper to discuss the evidence in detail in the case as the investigation in the matter is also not over. I have also considered the judgment cited by the learned Senior Counsel for the applicants in the case of Ravindra Saxena Vs. State of Rajasthan, reported in (2010) 1 SCC 684 and the ratio laid down by the Apex Court. However, considering the material on record of the case and the prima facie involvement of the applicants in the commission of offence punishable under Sections 409, 467, 468, 471 and 114 of the IPC, I am of the view that the applicants are not entitled to claim the discretionary relief as prayed for in the application. Even if the payment is made of the huge amount of Rs.76,062/-, the applicants cannot wriggle out on the plea that since the amount in question is already paid, they should be granted anticipatory bail because it is not in dispute that the complaint filed is not frivolous, nor is it the case of the applicants that they are falsely implicated in the commission of offence punishable under Sections 409, 467, 468, 471 and 114 of the IPC. Thus, taking into account the totality of the facts and circumstances of the case and the material on record of the case which is perused by me, I am of the view that no discretionary relief be granted to the applicants as prayed for in the application while exercising the powers under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. The powers under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure are of an extraordinary nature and can be exercised in a very rare and exceptional circumstances.
