Overview

  • Judicial Magistrate Saurabh Goyal held Kuldeep, Rakesh, Upasana and Anand guilty of contempt under Section 228 of the IPC after they failed to furnish bail bonds despite two calls between 10:00 AM and 11:40 AM on July 15.
  • The court directed the accused to stand in the courtroom with their hands raised until adjournment and initially remanded them to 14 days of judicial custody.
  • Kuldeep secured bail later that day by furnishing personal and surety bonds of Rs. 10,000 each, resulting in his immediate release from custody.
  • The underlying complaint dates back to March 2018 when Harkesh Jain accused the group of conspiring to seize his 334 sq yard plot in Palam village and erecting unauthorized construction.
  • The matter remains at the pre-charge evidence stage and is scheduled for its next hearing on August 11.
