                                     O R D E R

Application for anticipatory bail.

2. The alleged offences are under sections 420 and 34 IPC.

According to the prosecution, petitioners were running a financial

institution and defacto-complainant deposited huge amount in the

institution. When he demanded withdrawal of the amount, the

petitioners cheated him, by not returning the amount. The petitioners

also closed down the institution.

3. Learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that no

cheating is involved in this case, but there is only a civil dispute.

Petitioners’ institution fell on loss and only because of it, the institution

was closed. The petitioners had no intention to cheat the defacto-

complainant.

4. This application is opposed. Learned Public Prosecutor

submitted that series of other crimes registered against the

petitioners on the basis of complaints made by others. The petitioners

are absconding for long time. All the records are in their possession

and they are required for custodial interrogation.

5. On hearing both sides, I am satisfied of the submissions

BA 5110/08 -2-

made by the learned Public Prosecutor. Granting of anticipatory bail in

an offence of this nature will not be proper.

The application is dismissed.

K. HEMA, JUDGE.
