Economic Offence: Bail Granted in High Court

Outcome: Bail granted by Bombay High Court within 3 weeks

Secured bail for a businessman arrested by Economic Offences Wing in a ₹100 crore cheating case, overturning Sessions Court rejection.


Our client was arrested by Mumbai Police's Economic Offences Wing in connection with an alleged investment fraud scheme. The Sessions Court had rejected bail citing the seriousness of allegations and amount involved.

We filed an urgent bail application in Bombay High Court, arguing that our client was a victim of identity theft and had no knowledge of the fraudulent scheme. We presented digital forensic evidence showing that signatures on key documents were forged.

The High Court granted bail within 3 weeks, noting the prima facie evidence of forgery and our client's cooperation with investigation. The case is ongoing, but our client is now able to defend himself while out on bail.
