Vide this order I shall dispose of the anticipatory bail application

u/s   438   Cr.P.C.   moved   on   behalf   of   the   applicant/accused   Vandana   Sodhi.

Arguments have already been heard.

ORDER:­1. Ld.   Counsel   for   applicant/accused   had   submitted   that   the   non­

applicant/complainant being an IAS Officer and Principal Secretary to the Govt.

of  NCT  of  Delhi   had  misused  his   official   position   to   convert   a   matrimonial

dispute with the applicant/accused into this  false case FIR, in connivance with

police officials. He had submitted that on the complaint of the applicant/accused

dated  21.08.2020,   the  present   case  FIR  was   registered  on  17.10.2020   for   the

offences u/s 419/420/506/511/120B IPC and u/s 66D of IT Act, out of which only

section 420 IPC is non­bailable, but subsequently, as an afterthought, through the

supplementary statement of the non­applicant/complainant, sections 406/389 IPC

(which   are   non­bailable)   were   also   invoked   in   the   matter.     He   had   further

submitted that the FIR does not mention the previous complaint dated 03.06.2020

Page 1 of 22

given by the complainant to the police, as regards the matter (copy of which has

been filed on record by the applicant/accused).   He had also submitted that no

allegation qua  the offence u/s  389 IPC was made in  the first  complaint  dated

03.06.2020. He had further submitted that as regards the offence u/s 389 IPC, the

non­applicant/complainant,   in   the  FIR,  had  falsely  alleged  that   the  co­accused

Sandeep Sumbly had made a Whatsapp call to him, knowing fully well that no

such call was made and that no electronic record qua verification of any Whatsapp

call can be obtained from Whatsapp. He had further submitted that even from the

alleged contents of the said Whatsapp call, no offence u/s 389 IPC is made out, as

the Goa property had already been gifted by the non­applicant/complainant to the

applicant/accused     prior   to   the   said   call   (with   the   gift   deed   executed   on

19.04.2019) and in any case, no liability for the said alleged call could be fastened

upon the applicant/accused as, admittedly, neither had the applicant/accused made

any such call nor had the co­accused Sandeep Sumbly claimed that he was making

the said call  on the request or  the direction of  the applicant/accused.    He had

further   submitted   that   as   regards   the  offence  u/s   406   IPC,  no  gold   jewellery

articles were entrusted by the non­applicant/complainant to the applicant/accused

or demanded back, and it is the admitted case of the applicant/accused in the FIR

that he had taken some of his articles on his own to the matrimonial home of

applicant/accused   in  Gurugram  where   they   lived   together.   In   this   context,   he

further stated that no proof of ownership of the gold jewellery articles, allegedly

entrusted to the applicant/accused, has been provided to the investigating agency.

He     had   further   submitted   that   the   applicant/accused   had   requested   the   non­

applicant/complainant and   her counsel had also requested the Ld. Counsel for

non­applicant/complainant   to   take   back   the   'Celerio'   car   of   the   non­

applicant/complainant   parked   in   the   said   premises,   but   the   non­

applicant/complainant malafidely did not pick up the same in order to make a case

Page 2 of 22

for the offence u/s 406 IPC.  He had further submitted that as regards the alleged

telephonic conversation between one Renu and the non­applicant/complainant, no

ingredient(s) for any criminal offences are made out from the said conversation

and in any case, no liability for the said conversation could be fastened upon the

applicant/accused.   He had further submitted that the present case FIR had been

falsely   initiated   to   pressurize   the   applicant/accused   to   settle   the   matrimonial

dispute to the satisfaction of the non­applicant/complainant and was a misuse of

law on the latter's part. He had also submitted that the applicant/accused had given

a reply dated 19.12.2020 to the IO, expressing her willingness to join investigation

and   cooperate   in   the   same,   there   is   no   likelihood   of   the   applicant/accused

absconding, no custodial interrogation of the applicant/accused is required and in

view of the COVID­19 pandemic, sending the applicant/accused to custody would

make her more vulnerable to be infected with the COVID­19 infection. He had

accordingly prayed for the grant of anticipatory bail to the applicant/accused.

2. Ld.   Counsel   for   applicant/accused   had   also   relied   upon   the

following judgments in support of his arguments:

3. Per contra, the Ld. Addl. PP for State assisted by the Ld. Counsel

for non­applicant/complainant and the IO, had strongly opposed the anticipatory

bail   application  of   the   applicant/accused  on   the  grounds  of   the  nature  of   the

offences and the alleged role of the applicant/accused. He had submitted that the

grant   of   anticipatory   bail   is   an   extraordinary   relief,   given   in   exceptional

circumstances, where the role of accused is beyond any  iota  of doubt. He also

urged that the court has to balance the interest of investigation and that of the

accused.     He   had   further   submitted   that   in   case   anticipatory   bail   is   granted,

investigation will  be scuttled. He had relied upon the judgment of the Hon'ble

Supreme Court in 'CBI vs. Anil Sharma' [1997(7) SCC 187]. He also relied upon

the observation of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of 'Narinderjeet Singh

Sahni & Anr. v. UOI & Ors.'   (AIR 2001 SC 3810) to submit that an accused

facing charge under sections 406, 409, 420 and 120B IPC is ordinarily not entitled

to invoke the provisions of section 438 Cr.P.C., unless it is established that such

criminal accusation is not a bona fide one. He had also submitted that section 406

& 389 IPC had been invoked on the basis of the allegations made in the complaint

of the non­applicant/complainant whereupon FIR in question was registered, and

had not been invoked on the basis of any subsequent supplementary statement. He

had   further   submitted   that   since  a  conspiracy  angle     is  present   in   the  matter,

therefore, to unearth the said conspiracy, partly executed by aforesaid Renu in

Page 4 of 22

connivance with the applicant by means of the telephonic conversation with the

non­applicant/complainant qua false implication of the non­applicant/complainant

in a false POCSO case on the complaint of daughter of the applicant/accused, her

custodial interrogation is required. He had further submitted that the anticipatory

bail   application  of   the  co­accused  Sandeep  Sumbly  was  dismissed  vide  order

dated  28.12.2020 by   the  Ld.  Roster   Judge,  PHC,  New Delhi.  He had   further

submitted that the applicant/accused is the main conspirator and thus, in case bail

is granted to her, her complete role will never be revealed. He had also submitted

that   since   the   articles   of   the   non­applicant/complainant   entrusted   to   the

applicant/accused had not been returned by her in spite of their demand by non­

applicant/complainant and despite the filing of the present case FIR, a clear cut

case   u/s   406   IPC   against   the   applicant/accused   is   made   out,   her   custodial

interrogation is required to recover the said articles and in case anticipatory bail is

granted to the applicant/accused, the said articles will never be recovered. He had

further   submitted   that   the   SIM   card   used   by   the   aforesaid   Renu   had   been

purchased in the name of Sandeep Sumbly, and was used in the Redmi phone of

the applicant/accused and in an iPhone by the said Renu   while communicating

with   the   non­applicant/complainant.   He   had   further   submitted   that   the

applicant/accused in her reply dated 25.08.2020 to the IO had claimed that the

SIM card had been given to the non­applicant/complainant, but after the CDR of

the said SIM card usage was obtained which revealed that the same was used in

the  Redmi  phone  of   the  applicant/accused,  while   the  applicant/accused   in  her

subsequent   reply  dated   19.12.2020   claimed   that   the   said  SIM   card  had   been

misplaced, all of which are contradictory stands. He had also submitted that the

said Renu is the daughter of the applicant/accused from her previous marriage. He

had accordingly prayed for the rejection of the anticipatory bail application.

Asper CDR analysis, Mr Sandeep Sumbly called upthis number (9315563353) approx 166 times fromhis mobile number 9811319089 during 04.01.2020to 29.03.2020 and 25 times from his other numberi.e. 9818470238. Later on the mobile 9315563353was used for internet only. Only one incoming wasmade from Mr Sandeep Sumbly’s number to9315563353 on 26.04.2020. It seems thatalleged mobile number was using by the someclose person of Mr. Sandeep Sumbly. However,Mr. Raajeev Yadhuvanshi denied to receive anySIM card from Sandeep Sumbly.

During further analysis of CDRs, it has beenrevealed that alleged mobile number is found inuse with mobile instrument Redmi Lite-2 bearingIMEI number 860980041153034 from 31.12.19 to27.03.2020 and in iphone-6 bearing IMEI number356960061304890 from 29.03.20 to 31.05.20.This number is use till 31.05.2020 only. Themobile instrument Redmi Lite 2 bearing IEMI Nos.860980041153034 and 860980041153040, whichwas earlier used with SIM bearing number9315563353 from 31.12.19 to 27.03.20 is nowbeing used with the SIM no. 9971449706 ownedby Vandana Sodhi. Hence, it has been revealedthat SIM mobile number 9315563353 was using byMs Vandana Sodhi till 27.03.2020. .

On checking the True-caller Android App,the number 9315563353 is shown in the name ofVandana Sodhi. The identify of Renu could not beestablished as Shri Vinod Kumar Jain, ChiefExecutive Officer, NNS Media Group has clearly

Page 8 of 22

stated that no employee by the name of Renuworked with them. Hence above said case wasregistered and investigation taken up. During investigation, three notices u/s 41ACr.P.C. have been issued to Mr Sandeep Sumblyfor joining the investigation but he did not join theinvestigation so far.

Notice u/s 91 Cr.P.C. served upon thecomplainant to provide the relevant documents andinformation and he produced the same. Detailedstatement u/s 161 Cr.P.C. of the complainant wasrecorded therein he stated that Ms Vandana Sodhialong with Sandeep Sumbly and Aditi Sodhi werelooking for properties in Goa from 15th April to 1st

May 2018 and stayed in Thalassa Resort, Vagator,North Goa. During this period, she celebrated her50th Birthday on 20th April 2018. This is admittedby Vandana in her Whats App message dated 10th

October 2018, send to the complainant. At thattime i.e. April, 2018 they came to know about hisGoa Property at 190, Queeny Estate, IssocrisumVillage, Marmugao Taluka, South Goa, and alsothat he was divorced. Vandana Sodhi, Lawyer, is a2 time Divorced, having greed for property, inproven 3rd live-in relationship (since mid 2015) withSandeep Sumbly having greed for money andproperty and made a unscrupulous and novelcheating/Con-plan to Honey Trap him intomarriage having an eye on his Goa House and itsbelongings. So as a first step Vandana Sodhi sentWhats App message on 14th June, 2018 to thecomplainant that she is based in Abu Dhabi and isvisiting India and on pretext of seeking his officialhelp in Gurugram. He responded 1 week later i.e.on 21st June, 2018. She met him at PanditRavinder Angruish house at Vasant Kunj, Delhi on26th June, 2018. Ms Vandana Sodhi took into confidenceof his elder daughter Ms DevsurabheeYaduvanshi by giving her Rs 5 Lakhs, as loan

Page 9 of 22

on 4th July 2018, Copy of bank transactionstatement placed with file. On 10th July 2018,Vandana Sodhi offered him to marry her. On14th July 2018 marriage happened without dowry,only by exchange of rings at Pandit RavinderAngruish House. The Goa House made during 2004-06,during his Goa Posting, which was earned andowned by Ms Smritee, his 1st wife through her ownindependent income as a Teacher and through LICHousing Finance Loan, will go equally to her 2biological daughters i.e. Devsurabhee and Urvy asper family settlement dated 23rd September 2016. After the marriage, Vandana Sodhi instigatedDevsurabhee to bring back the fight dated 19th July2017 of both sisters and use it start DomesticViolence (DV) legal case against him and hisyounger daughter. This led to Devsurabhee filingD.V. Case No. 2 of 2019 before JMFC Panaji,Goaagainst him and Urvy on 29th Jan 2019. JMFCCourt issued Notice to him. So Vandana Sodhiand Sandeep Sumbly made Devsurabhee to file aDV Case for a resolved incident of 19thJuly2017( One and half years after the incident) and 6months after his 2nd marriage. It seems that DVCase by Devsurabhee against him was aplanned conspiracy and evil design ofVandana Sodhi and Sandeep Sumbly. When hereceived Notice and on 18th March 2019, heinformed Vandana (who was in Abu Dhabialongwith Sandeep Sumbly). Vandana, instead ofresolving the issue, 4 days later on 22nd March2019, she instigated him to file FIR againstDevsurabhee. Vandana wrote Whats Appmessage as follows:-" Also pl check with your Lawyer if based onthe recording a FIR can be lodged againstDevsurabhee for threat and fraud" (at 03:13PM on 22nd March, 2019)."She has threatened you in the recording" ( at

Page 10 of 22

03:14 PM on 22nd March, 2019).But he denied to file any FIR against his daughterDevsurbhee. Thereafter Vandana told him that“Devsurabhee wants the entire Goa House forherself as a settlement for withdrawal of herDV case. This way Urvy will not get her oneHalf share as per family settlement agreementof Sep 2016 and Urvy would be put todisadvantage and Devsurabhee will gain”. Vandana Sodhi, as a Lawyer, and using thetrust of a wife betrayed his trust and cheated him byher advice to go for filing Appeal in Session CourtPanaji u/s 29 of DV Act against JMFC Court Noticedated 18th March 2019. She further told that GoaHouse can be gifted to her so as to be in safecustody and after defeating Devsurabhee in theD.V. Case she will gift Goa House/property back tohim to be given equally to Devsurabhee and Urvyas per family Settlement of Yaduvanshis Believing Vandana Sodhi as a concernedwife, and as a concerned mother, and the legaladvice given by her, he agreed to make a trip toGoa to file Session Appeal u/s 29 of DV Act whichwas done on 16th April, 2019. Vandana got GoaHouse gifted to her on 18th /19th April 2019. AfterGift Deed was made on 19th April, 2019 at VascoSub-Registrar, when they reached near DabolimAirport, on way to Martin Corner, Benaulim forlunch, Sandeep Sumbly rang up on Vandana Sodhimobile number to enquire whether Gift Deed wasdone. He overheard their conversations as he wasdriving his friend’s car and Vandana was sitting byhis side. But immediately after gifting Goaproperty, Vandana Sodhi told him on 21st April2019 morning that she will not stop meetingSandeep Sumbly. Later when he came to knowthat Session Appeal u/s 29 of DV Act wasdismissed, with a direction to him to appear beforeJMFC Panaji in DV Case because Appeal does notlie on issue of Court Notice, He felt huge betrayal

Page 11 of 22

by his wife Vandana Sodhi and knew that he wasunscrupulously cheated/conned by Vandana Sodhiand her paramour Sandeep Sumbly.The cheating/Con game of Vandana Sodhi &Sandeep Sumbly got confirmed by the followingSMS message dated 19.6 2019 to Devsurabhee bySandeep Sumbly:-

"Hi Surabhi.“ I am Sandeep and want to help you in

your case against your father. What will be agood time to speak to you. Rgds, Sandeep"Obviously this message refers to the DV Act Casefiled by Devsurabhee against the complainant.

Both Vandana Sodhi and Sandeep Sumblyhave acted in Criminal Conspiracy and thisCriminal Conspiracy got further confirmed whenVandana Sodhi branded his Goa property entirelyin her name as MADISON RESIDENCESregistered vide Regn. No. PSA/REG/GGN/LI-Ggn-X/0197431 dated 12th July, 2019 of LabourDepartment, Government of Haryana in name ofVandana D/o Sh. A.S. Yadav. Sachin Yadav is inthe Manager of ‘MADISON RESIDENCES, whobecame another conspirator of Vandana Sodhiagainst him and her biological daughters. It is noteworthy that in the said Registration Document,Vandana does not use his name as a husband,(who owned the Property) but uses name of herfather’s and also her father address. When thecomplainant objected to Registration and misuse ofhis Goa property by Vandana Sodhi and SachinYadav, Vandana Sodhi beat him up with Chappalsand twisted his injured arm on 24th July 2019morning, then packed his clothes in small suitcase& threw him out of her rented flat B-3602, DLFCrest, Sector-54, Gurugram, stating that “you arenot my choice.” “see you in court.”. Immediatelyafter beating up him for daring to open his mouthagainst conversion of his Goa Property as‘Madison Residences at 8.29 am she sent

Page 12 of 22

following message on Whats App"No procedure to be done on your

shoulder except when I am present" (08:29AM)”.

Fearing from her and also to save herlife/reputation and to recover his Goa Property, hedid not get MLC done but his treatment continuedtill Jan 2020 at the time of filing his Divorce. He was never in favour of conversion andmonetisation of his Goa House/Property as‘MADISON RESIDENCES’ and he never handedover possession of his Goa House to VandanaSodhi and Sandeep Sumbly till date his GoaProperty is in his possession. Even though theywere forcing him and threatening him continuouslyfrom July, 2019 onwards till date on variousoccasions to sell it to Vandana Sodhi and handover possession, He never allowed ‘MadisonResidences’ to be operated in his Goa House. Leftwith no option, but to save life of his daughter andhimself, He finally left Vandana’s house, without hisbelongings, and saved his life in November, 2019.He asked about his belongings including officialpapers, which she flatly refuses to give till date.

During this period of Nov/Dec, 2019 andJanuary, 2020 the Criminal Conspiracy of VandanaSodhi and Sandeep Sumbly deepened & theyshowed their true colours and further threateningme as follows:

On 30th Dec, 2019 Vandana Sodhiexpressed that he should send her floweron New Year. So on 31st January,2019, he sent her flowers (Yellow LiliesBouquet) though his driver Mr. NippuKumar Singh and asked them to give inthe hands of Vandana Sodhi.

The threats & loss statement got magnifiedinto more words by her was Appended on 2nd /3rd

5. With respect to the claim of the Ld. Counsel for applicant/accused

qua ownership proof not having been furnished  by the non­applicant/complainant

for the recovery of articles, proof of the same is not necessary at this initial stage

of  consideration  of   the  anticipatory  bail  application.  Merely  because   the  non­

applicant/complainant has not furnished the bills pertaining to the gold jewellery

in question, it cannot be presumed that there was no such gold jewellery, and the

allegation of the non­applicant/complainant qua the entrustment of same to the

applicant/accused   and   non­return   thereof,   cannot   be   ignored   at   this   stage.   A

thorough  investigation   is   required   to  verify   the  said  fact.    Further,   it  was  not

denied   by   the   Ld.   Counsel   for   applicant/accused   during   the   course   of   the

arguments, that some of the articles of the non­applicant/complainant, including

Page 20 of 22

the said 'Celerio' car, are lying in the erstwhile matrimonial house of the parties.

However, the claim of the applicant/accused is that the non­applicant/complainant

had brought them there himself, and has deliberately not taken the same back, to

make it a case for an offence under section 406 IPC.  The rival contentions in this

regard can be verified only after a detailed investigation.

6. Furthermore, the hatching of a conspiracy to commit an offence is,

as per section 120B IPC, in itself an offence, even if no overt act is committed by

the applicant/accused. Therefore, even if for argument's sake, it is presumed that

there   was   no   criminality   in   the   overt   act   of   the   aforesaid   Renu   qua   the

conversations alleged by the complainant, still, if the said conversations were a

part of a conspiracy to implicate the complainant in a false case under the POCSO

Act, it would in itself be an offence, and custodial interrogation may be required

to ascertain whether the applicant/accused was a part of the conspiracy, if any.

The aforesaid contradictory stands of the applicant/accused with respect  to the

SIM   card,   through   which   the   said   Renu   was   communicating   with   the   non­

applicant/complainant,  and  the  said  SIM card  having been used  in   the  Redmi

mobile handset of the applicant/accused, require the role of the applicant/accused

to be investigated thoroughly.

7. The judgments cited by the Ld. Counsel for applicant/accused do

not help the case of the applicant/accused for the grant of the anticipatory bail, due

to the different facts and circumstances in this case.

8. Considering the totality of the facts and circumstances, including

the nature of the allegations levelled, the investigation conducted so far, the fact

that the anticipatory bail of co­accused Sandeep Sumbly, whose role was on a

similar or lesser footing than the applicant/accused, has been rejected, in view of

the reasons mentioned in the aforesaid reply of the IO and the submissions of the

Ld. Addl. PP for State and the facts that there is seldom any direct evidence of

Page 21 of 22

conspiracy & the conspiracy, if any, needs to be unearthed and that the articles

allegedly  entrusted  by   the  complainant   to   the  applicant/accused  are  yet   to  be

recovered, I am of the considered opinion that this is not a fit case for grant of

anticipatory   bail   to   the   applicant/accused.     Accordingly   the   anticipatory   bail

application   is   dismissed.   However   it   is   made   clear   that   merely   because   the

anticipatory bail application has been dismissed, the same will not be an excuse

for the investigating agency to arrest the applicant on that basis, and it will do so

only   if   it   is   essential   as   per   law   and   with   specific   reasons   to   be   recorded.

Application is accordingly disposed of.  Dasti to all concerned.

9. Bail application file be consigned to Record Room.

Bail Application no.24/2021State vs. Pawan Gupta

FIR No.58/2017PS: Chanakya Puri

08.01.2021

Present : Sh. Manoj Mishra, Counsel for applicant/accused,through VC.

Sh. Dharam Chand, Addl. PP for State, through VC.

Present is an application for grant of bail moved on

behalf of applicant/accused Pawan Gupta.

It is submitted in the application that the petitioner

was acquitted in another false and frivolous FIR no.23500/2016

vide order dated 14.10.2019 passed by Hon'ble court of Ms.

Aakansha Vyas, MM-5 (East), Karkardooma Court, Delhi, and in

the aforesaid FIR, the same vehicle in question were involved,

hence on this ground, the petitioner is entitled for bail. There is

no documentary evidence collected by the IO in respect of the

possession of the accused persons in the said premises. Even

the landlord/owner of the premises has also not supported the

prosecution case in respect of possession of the said premises by

any of the petitioners and other accused persons.

It is further submitted that the petitioner is the only

bread earner of his family consisting of wife, two children aged

about 2 years and 4 years and two unmarried sisters, aged

about 14 years and 20 years. Presently, the wife of the petitioner

was pregnant for 3 months and petitioner regularly taken his

wife for medical treatment and the petitioner also wants to

marry his sister. From the last 6 months, the petitioner was also

unable to pay the school fees of the children. The petitioner has

taken the loan of Rs.4,00,000/- to Rs.5,00,000/- from Muthoot

Finance after gold jewellery of his wife, sister etc. and hence,

the petitioner is necessary for paying the said loan amount.

I have heard ld. Counsel for accused / applicant as

well as ld. Addl. PP for State.

Ld. Counsel for accused has contended that the

accused is already on interim bail and during the interim bail, he

has never misused the liberty granted to him. He has further

contended that the accused is praying for the mercy of the court

as the accused has been in custody for a very long time. He has

further contended that the accused has a family to support and

wife of the accused is pregnant. He has further contended that

accused has been falsely implicated in this case.

Per contra, ld. Addl. PP has contended that the

accused alongwith his associates had committed a spate of

dacoities by adoption a similar modus operandi. He has further

contended that when the accused was released on interim bail,

he had committed a robbery. He has further contended that

though the accused may not have misused the liberty but merely

because he is on interim bail, his bail cannot be confirmed

especially in view of the evidence recorded before the court

where the complainant had not only identified the accused but

had also assigned to the role which the accused had played in

the robbery.

I have considered the rival submissions and perused

the record very carefully.

First of all, interim bails and regular bails are

granted on distinct grounds. An interim bail is granted due to

some emergent situations so that the accused, who is in custody,

may be released to take care of those situations. Just because

the accused is on interim bail, it cannot be a ground for

regularizing that bail.

It is also to be seen that there are two cases pending

against the accused in this court which are pertaining to dacoity

committed by a gang by adopting a similar modus operandi and

accused had played an active role in that dacoity. Evidence to

that effect has also come before the court where the

complainant had also identified the accused. However, at this

stage, the veracity of evidence and merits of the evidence

cannot be decided but at the same time, the evidence has to be

kept in mind while deciding the bail application. Considering the

overall facts and circumstances, I do not find it a fit case for

grant of bail. The application at hand is accordingly dismissed.

Order be uploaded on the website of Delhi District Court.
