Pankaj vs STATE Advocate - P.P — 155/2026

Case Summary: Pankaj v. State of Rajasthan (155/2026) Court Decision: The Session Judge of Jhunjhunu rejected Pankaj's bail application under Section 483 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. Pankaj was accused of conspiring with others to defraud a complainant through an online investment scam, fraudulently obtaining ₹1,24,03,785 between August 29, 2025 and November 8, 2025 by posing as employees of a fake "Reliance Realty" company and luring the victim to invest in fictitious schemes. Key Reasoning: The court held that since co-accused persons had previously been denied bail by the same court, the current petitioner's case was not distinguishable. Given the serious nature of cyber fraud crimes, the ongoing investigation stage, and absence of any exceptional circumstances, granting bail would be inappropriate and contrary to justice.
