JAMMU, Jan 17: Railway Magistrate Jammu R K Lalhal today rejected the bail application of one Umran Akram, son of Mohd Akram of Rajouri claiming to be a media reporter, who has been arrested for preparing false and fake documents with intent to deceive innocent unemployed youth.
During the course of investigation, accused was arrested and 59 fake degrees, mark cards, diplomas, registrations certificates from Universities and BOSE were seized. Statements of witnesses under Section 161 CrPC were also recorded. Stamps from the residence of the accused and certain documents were also recovered ascribed in the name of Bundel Khand University, Punjab Technical University and IFTM University and Monad University etc.
After hearing APP Vikram Parihar for the police, the court observed, “a society expects responsibility and accountability from the member and it desires that the citizen should obey the law. Therefore, when an individual behaves in a disharmonious manner, ushering in disorderly things which the society disapproves, the legal consequences are bound to follow”.
“At that stage, the court has a duty. It cannot abandon its sacrosanct obligation and pass an order at its own whim or caprice. It has to be guided by established parameters of law. In the case on hand, the accused is involved in heinous offence/s and prima facie there are reasonable grounds to believe that he has committed the offences”, the court said, adding “investigation is still going on and in case he is enlarged on bail at this stage, there is every possibility of accused fleeing from the course of justice”.
