Multiple bail applications were filed before the Rajasthan High Court (Jaipur Bench) by several accused persons, including a private individual (Mukesh Pathak), retired government engineers (Dalip Kumar Gaur, K.D. Gupta, M.P. Soni), a contractor/private person (Sanjeev Kumar Gupta), a senior IAS officer (Subodh Agarwal, then Additional Chief Secretary, PHED), a former Minister of PHED (Mahesh Chandra Joshi), and Sanjay Badaya, all arrested in connection with FIR No. 245/2024 registered by the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB), Jaipur. The case relates to an alleged large-scale corruption scam in the Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM) in Rajasthan, involving criminal conspiracy, use of forged documents and fake certificates of Ircon International Limited, and misappropriation of public funds by contractors and PHED officials. Each petitioner's counsel argued that their client was falsely implicated, that no prima facie case was made out against them in the FIR, that no recoveries were made from them, and that they were entitled to bail on grounds of parity with co-accused against whom no coercive action had been ordered by a coordinate bench. The court heard arguments from all petitioners and the State, and reserved the order, which was pronounced on 13 August 2026; however, the full operative text of the final decision on grant or refusal of bail is not completely reproduced in the provided judgment extract.
