A Delhi court recently denied bail to a man accused of forging the signature of Senior Advocate Sidharth Luthra and sending a legal notice to Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of IndusInd Bank..Additional Sessions Judge (ASJ) Devender Kumar Jangala of the Patiala House Courts rejected the bail plea filed by Mohit Goyal.“Though it is true that the applicant/accused is having the Constitutional right to life and liberty as per Constitution of India and the liberty of the accused can not be curtailed without the settled principal of law. However, the court has to maintain a balance between the rights of the accused and interest of society. The applicant/accused is a habitual offender involved in 40 other cases of same nature, therefore, if he is released on bail, there is every likelihood of repeat of commission of offence, as has been repeatedly done by him. Keeping in view the interest of society, the applicant/accused is not entitled to bail. The bail application under Section 439 Cr. PC moved on behalf of applicant/accused Mohit Goyal for grant of regular bail is accordingly dismissed,” the Court said..Goyal was arrested by the Delhi Police on a complaint filed by Luthra.It has been alleged that he sent the notice under Luthra’s name to IndusInd Bank officials to release the funds of a bank account in the name of Preach Well Technologies Private Limited.The Court was told that the allegations against the accused are grave and serious and he has more than 40 other cases of cheating and fraud pending against him..Additional Public Prosecutor Mukul Kumar appeared for Delhi Police.
