District and Sessions Judge Rajkrishna rejected the Balkrishna's plea, who was arrested for his alleged roles in case of forgery and violation of the Indian Passport Act.

The bail plea was filed on Jul 26, said defence counsel Pravin Seth.

On July 21, a special CBI court had also refused to grant him bail and sent him to nine-day judicial custody.

Yesterday, after the completion of nine-day term, Chief Judicial Magistrate SS Rawat had extended Balkrishna's judicial remand by another 14 days till Aug 13. He is lodged in Suddhowala jail here.

The CBI had registered a case of cheating and criminal conspiracy against Balkrishna on July 23 last year for allegedly procuring fake degree and violating Section 12 of Indian Passport Act by furnishing fake documents to get a passport.

 

Balkrishna was arrested on Jul 20 after the CBI court issued non-bailable arrest warrants against him as he failed to appear before it.

The CBI had on Jul 10 filed a chargesheet in the court against Balkrishna. In its chargesheet, CBI has also accused the then principal of Sanskrit Mahavidyala Khurja in Uttar Pradesh for allegedly helping Balkrishna obtain fake educational certificates.
