Law Laid Down -
Grant of anticipatory bail is to be considered in view of the grave accusation levelled against the accused and therefore, may be one of the petitioner is a senior citizen aged 70 years and suffering ailments, would not entitle him to concession of anticipatory bail.
The modus operandi and gravity of accusation involving same crime number and almost similar allegations, as discussed in detail in the order passed in MCRC No.24600/2017 (Dr. Divya Kishore Satpathi vs. CBI) and connected petitions, which has led to admission of large number of candidates at the cost of more meritorious candidates in a professional course, is glaring and for the same and additional reasons coupled with the allegations against the petitioner in the present case, the applications for anticipatory bail are rejected.
