Sunil Dharma Jadhav vs State of Maharashtra Through PSOPS Khadan, Akola. Tq. Dist. Akola. Advocate - APP — 138/2026

Summary The District Judge rejected Sunil Dharma Jadhav's pre-arrest bail application under Section 482 of the BNSS, 2023. The court found sufficient prima facie evidence that Jadhav was the mastermind of a job-fraud scheme where he and co-accused induced a retired teacher to pay ₹33 lakh by falsely promising government employment through MPSC, ultimately providing forged appointment documents. The court noted that Jadhav's defense that he was merely an intermediary was contradicted by evidence including photographs of him meeting the complainant's son at an ITC hotel and a co-accused's notarized statement acknowledging his role, warranting custodial interrogation for investigation.
