Section 439 CrPC | No Cogent Evidence of Direct Involvement in Fake Document Fraud Insufficient for Denial of Bail : Allahabad HC

The Allahabad High Court granted bail to an accused in a Rs. 1.71 crore Bajaj Finance fraud case, holding that bald allegations without corroborative evidence of direct involvement in submitting fake documents cannot justify continued pre-trial detention. This reinforces that bail cannot be denied solely on the gravity of financial fraud when the accused’s personal link to the fraudulent act remains unproven.
