Shashikant Dashrath Mandhare 01 vs State of Maharashtra Thr. Police Station, Wardha City Advocate - Assistant Public Prosecutor — 10/2026

The Additional Sessions Judge, Wardha, granted bail to two applicants accused of defrauding Axis Bank of Rs. 2,55,92,000 by preparing forged documents and facilitating fraudulent loan disbursals. The court found prima facie evidence of their involvement in creating bogus customers and false salary slips, but held that the charge-sheet completion, documentary evidence preservation, and prolonged custody (since September 2025) rendered further detention unjustified. The applicants were released on personal bonds of Rs. 1,00,000 each with strict conditions against witness tampering and jurisdictional restrictions.
