-----------------------------------------------
Dated this the 22nd day of July, 2008.
ORDER
Petition for anticipatory bail.
2. The alleged offences are under Section 420 read with
Section 34 of India Penal Code. According to prosecution, the
petitioner received money from de facto complainant and offered a
permanent Visa for the de facto complainant’s husband, but only a
tourist Visa was arranged. Thereafter, the money was not paid back
and thereby, de facto complainant was cheated by the accused. The
petitioner is the 2nd accused. The first accused is running a travel
agency.
3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the
petitioner has no connection with the travel agency. Annexure – A1 is
the agreement which shows that the travel agency was leased out to
the first accused. As per the allegations in the complaint, money was
received by the first accused and it was he himself who offered the
Visa. It was also pointed out that there was some quarrel in
connection with the return of money paid by the de facto complainant
for Visa and hence, as a pressure tactics, this compliant was filed, but
[B.A.No.4513/08] 2
petitioner has nothing to do with the crime.
4. Learned Public Prosecutor submitted that he has no objection
in granting anticipatory bail on conditions.
Hence, the following order is passed:
i) Petitioner shall surrender before the investigating officer
within 7 days from today and make himself available for
interrogation.
ii) If the petitioner is arrested, he shall be released on bail on
his executing a bond for Rs.25,000/- with two solvent
sureties each for the like sum to the satisfaction of the
arresting officer on condition that he will co-operate with
the investigation and report before the investigating officer
as and when directed.
Petition is allowed.
