HC considered an application for regular bail by A1, accused of offences under S.61(2) BNS and Ss.7, 7A PC Act. HC noted the investigation is complete and charge sheets filed, but found strong prima facie material showing A1 as the prime conspirator, having impersonated a CGST Commissioner, orchestrated the demand for illegal gratification, and directed co-accused in execution of the conspiracy. HC relied on CCTV footage, identification by the complainant and other witnesses, and corroborative voice sample evidence to conclude A1's presence and role at the place of negotiation. HC further recorded adverse conduct, including evasion of CBI notices under S.35(3) BNSS and avoidance of a non-bailable warrant. Considering parity with co-accused whose bail was rejected and affirmed by SC, HC held the case unfit for bail and dismissed the bail application.
