Prayagraj,

06 Aug (HS): David Andrew Luke, the principal of the city's prominent 200-year-old

Boys High School & College, has obtained anticipatory bail from the MP/MLA

Special Court in a criminal matter.

David Andrew Luke is relieved for the time being by this order. He's been with the institution for

decades. At Civil Lines Police Station,

a FIR was filed against him under several fraud laws. Special Judge Yogesh

issued this order after hearing the prosecution's and David Andrew Luke's

attorneys' arguments.

The court ruled that if the applicant is

detained, he should be freed on personal bail and sureties. He has also been

instructed to cooperate in the inquiry and refrain from tampering with the

evidence. Because the case involves documents, the court determined that

custody interrogation is unnecessary.

The court further stated that providing protection from arrest is

acceptable in the current circumstances.

Cheating, forgery, and criminal intimidation

charges were brought against him at the Civil Lines police station under

sections 420, 467, 468, 471, and 506 of the Indian Penal Code. He has been accused of document discrepancies

and administrative malfeasance at schools.

Morris Edgar Dan filed this complaint, alleging that the mark sheet he

supplied with his signature in 2012 was a forgery. The lawyer for David Andrew

Luke stated in court that he has been implicated in a fake case and that all of

his work as an administrator was done honestly.

It was also stated that the case is entirely based on paperwork, with no

criminal intent.
