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.
