Excelsior Correspondent
JAMMU, Mar 29: City Judge Jammu Manjeet Rai has rejected the bail application of Amardeep Singh Sasan, Chairman Vinayak Institute of Nursing and Para Medical Science and Ruchi Kumari, Principal in the admission scam.
After hearing APP Arvind Rathore for the police, the court observed, “accused persons are allegedly involved in the offences under Sections 420/467/468/471/IPC and the offences under Section 420/467/468 IPC are non-bailable and serious in nature, as such, the accused persons cannot claim the bail as a matter of right”.
“Moreover, it would be premature to comment, on the evidence collected till date as the investigation of the case is at its initial stage. In view of the serious nature of allegations and alleged active role played by the accused in the unsavoury acts of cheating and spoiling the career of students and unemployed youth, enlargement of accused persons on bail, will not only cause the impediment and obstacle in the completion of investigation but also shatter the confidence of the duped complainant”, the court said, adding “the accused persons do not deserve any leniency in grant of bail”.
