JAMMU, May 20: Chief Judicial Magistrate (CJM) Jammu Amarjeet Singh Langeh has rejected the bail application of one Amandeep Singh, son of Surinder Singh of Govind Nagar, who posed himself as AE in Military Engineering Service (MES) and obtained an amount of Rs 19 lakh from complainant and his two friends for providing appointment to them.
After hearing APP Kuldeep Bhat for the UT, the CJM observed, “petitioner also conducted their interview and written test and when complainant and two others as named in the FIR insisted for provision of appointment order and joining letter, petitioner resorted to dilly dallying tactics and it is at this stage when complainant and two others realized that they have been duped of their hard earned money”.
“Investigation also shows that petitioner used to roam freely in Army uniform and publicly conducted himself as Engineer in Military Engineering Services. The investigation is at initial stage and till date no recovery of appointment orders/joining report etc. has been affected. The Investigating Agency is in the process of collecting electronic evidence against the petitioner. The initial stage of investigation is therefore one sterling circumstance which does not warrant grant of bail to petitioner at this stage”, the court said.
“Only an individual with mischievous and fraudulent inclination can have the audacity to wear Army uniform publicly and lure unsuspecting youth with job dreams and thereafter leave them in dire straits. The web of complexity that petitioner has demonstrated by his conduct not only needs thorough probe which is at initial stage as aforesaid and grant of bail to him at this stage would thus be detrimental to interest of public at large”, the court said.
