NAGPUR:
Nirmal Ujjwal Sahakari Pat Sanstha chairman and
well-known builder Pramod Manmode and nine others accused of misusing investors’ money have moved the Nagpur bench of Bombay high court for getting anticipatory bail.
A single-judge
bench of justice Vinay Deshpande on Thursday, while refusing any interim relief, issued a notice to Nandanvan police, asking its officers to reply before October 8. The judge, however, directed the cops not to take any coercive action against two women directors.
The petitioners moved HC through counsel Shreerang Bhandarkar after their case was dismissed by the sessions court here.
All of them were booked under Sections 420, 409 and 384 of the IPC following a complaint against them at Nandanvan police station by Praful Karpe. The complainant alleged that the Manmode and other directors had defrauded him under the pretext of providing facilities at Nirmal Nagari constructed under the aegis of Nirmal Ujjwal Cooperative Society, where over 700 dwellings were built.
Karpe claimed that the accused made tall assurances in the brochures, but failed to provide even basic amenities.
