Lawyer bail plea rejected in 2.6cr cheating case
Mumbai: Observing that if this court exercises discretion in favour of applicant it will give a wrong message to society, a sessions court on Monday rejected the bail plea of advocate Vinaykumar Khatu, who is accused of defrauding a Delhi-based 74-year-old woman, a client, of Rs 2.57 crore by allegedly presenting her with forged orders purportedly issued by Bombay high court. "This court cannot ignore the antecedent of applicant. Admittedly, two offences were registered against applicant for misrepresenting himself as an IAS officer. If this court exercises discretion in favour of applicant, it will give a wrong message to society. The seriousness of allegations and antecedent of applicant prevent me from exercising discretion in favour of applicant," sessions judge VG Raghuwanshi said. The judge also said that if one decides to rely on WhatsApp chat then he cannot ignore that accused had stated about stay granted by honourable high court in his chat with the accountant and it is also clear that huge amounts were transferred to the accounts of his friends, associates and him after the date of fabricated orders. It was also held that offences relating to criminal breach of trust and forgery of valuable security were added against accused. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Nürtingen: GEERS sucht 700 Testhörer für Hörgeräte ohne Zuzahlung GEERS Undo "A judgment of civil court can be considered a valuable security…Court judgments often create or modify legal right and liabilities. Thus, the judgments fit within definition of valuable security," the judge said. The accused was a lawyer of the woman, Urmila Talyarkhan, who was involved in a property dispute relating to a land in Alibaug. After a lower court ruled against her, Talyarkhan appealed the decision to the district court. Her advocate failed to appear for the hearing, leading to the dismissal of the appeal on Mar 13, 2018. Residing in Delhi at the time, she remained unaware of this dismissal until 2022, as her advocate did not inform her. It was alleged that through a business acquaintance, Talyarkhan was introduced to Khatu. She retained Khatu for six matters, including the land dispute appeal, and a suit against her husband. Khatu allegedly charged an exorbitant fee of Rs 10 lakh per case. She allegedly transferred Rs 2 crore from her friend's account to those associated with the accused. Following Khatu's advice, she filed a second appeal in Bombay high court, with applications for condonation of a four-year delay and a stay order. Denying the allegations, the accused said that he was arrested on Oct 19, 2024. "Nothing needs to be seized from him. There is no possibility of tampering evidence," the lawyer submitted.

Court denies bail to lawyer booked for ‘fabricating Bombay HC orders, swindling Rs 2.5 crore from woman'
A sessions court in Mumbai has rejected the bail application of a lawyer booked for allegedly swindling Rs 2.57 crore from a woman by fabricating orders of the Bombay High Court. The accused, Vinay Kumar Khatu, 42, was arrested by the Azad Maidan police in South Mumbai in October last year. 'In this case, the applicant is a practising lawyer with standing of more than 20 years. I presume that he knows and understands the sanctity of his profession and the services he rendered to society and his clients. The allegations against the applicant are very serious,' Additional Sessions Judge V G Raghuvanshi said in the order dated June 3. The complainant in the case said that she had engaged Khatu as a lawyer in 12 cases related to her personal and property matters. The First Information Report (FIR) stated that the accused told her that he had filed appeals in the pending cases before the high court and informed her in 2022 that two cases had been decided in her favour, seeking fees from her in each of the pending cases, and inducing the woman by showing the favourable orders. When she subsequently tried to look for the orders on the high court website, she failed to find them and filed the FIR in 2024. Denying that he had given her any fabricated order, Khatu claimed that the complainant is a 'seasoned litigant' and this was her way to avoid paying professional fees to advocates. The court, rejecting Khatu's plea, said there was prima facie proof in terms of a WhatsApp chat against him. The court held that previously, two offences were filed against Khatu for misrepresenting himself as an Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officer. It took into consideration that people engage lawyers because they do not understand court procedures or the nature of orders and laws. It added that using its discretion to grant bail to the accused in the case would send a 'wrong message' to society, considering the seriousness of the allegations.
