                                       ORAL ORDER

2   29-06-2026                   Heard learned senior counsel for the petitioner,

                   learned counsel for the Vigilance and learned APP for the

                   State.

                                 2. The petitioner has prayed for regular bail in a case

                   registered for the offence punishable under Sections 7(a), 7(c)

                   and 12 of P.C. Act and Section 61(2) of B.N.S.

                                 3. The case of the prosecution, in short, is that the

                   petitioner is a Block Supply Officer. It is alleged that while

                   giving the allotment of the cereals, he took commission of Rs.

                   25/- per quintal and that he was                  demanding Rs. 6,000/-

                   through one middle man Manish Kumar. It is further alleged

                                            2/3




          that if the same will not be given to him, the license will be

          cancelled.

                       4. Learned senior counsel appearing on behalf of the

          petitioner has submitted that petitioner is innocent and has

          committed no offence. He has been falsely implicated in this

          case. Learned senior counsel for the petitioner has submitted

          that the Regional Supply Officer has got no power to cancel

          the license and that nothing has been demanded or received by

          him. It has further been submitted that Rs. 12,000/- was put in

          his pocket and trap was made. It has further been submitted

          that in this case, charge-sheet has already been filed. Petitioner

          is having no criminal antecedent and he is languishing in

          judicial custody since 03.04.2026.

                       5. Learned APP appearing for the State and learned

          counsel for the Vigilance have vehemently opposed the

          application for bail. Learned counsel for the Vigilance has

          submitted that the petitioner was caught red-handed and pre

          and post-trap shows that he has taken Rs. 12,000/- as hush

          money.

                       6. Having heard learned counsel for the parties and

          considering the facts and circumstances of the case, this Court

          is inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. The above named

                                                         3/3




                       petitioner is directed to be enlarged on bail on furnishing bail

                       of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the learned

                       Special Judge (Vigilance)-cum-Additional Sessions Judge-II,
