The Rajasthan High Court released Anil Shyoran on conditional bail in a fraud case, noting that recovered ATM cards and unsigned checkbooks alone do not prove cheating, and ordered an inquiry into two SHOs.
The Rajasthan High Court on Tuesday granted conditional bail to Anil Shyoran, who had been charged with fraud and cheating. The bench emphasized that the mere recovery of four ATM cards and six unsigned checkbooks does not constitute sufficient evidence to prove the offences alleged.
In its judgment, the court criticised the investigating police for a lack of basic understanding of the case facts, describing their approach as "fundamentally flawed." The bench directed the state police to initiate a probe into the conduct of two senior police officers (SHOs) who were involved in the investigation.
The conditional bail order includes standard restrictions, such as surrendering the passport and reporting regularly to the court. The decision underscores the judiciary's insistence on robust evidentiary standards before convicting individuals in financial crime cases.
Legal experts noted that the ruling may set a precedent for similar cases where the prosecution relies heavily on recovered items without corroborating documentation or witness testimony.
The case remains under observation, and the court will review compliance with the bail conditions in subsequent hearings.
