O R D E R
This petition is for anticipatory bail.
2. The alleged offence is under Section 420 of the Indian
Penal Code. According to prosecution, petitioner received
Rs. 65,000/- from the de facto complainant and Rs. 25,000/-
from another person on promise to arrange visa and thereafter,
he did not fulfil the promise nor did he return the money and
thereby committed cheating.
3. Learned counsel for petitioner submitted that he had not
received any amount from the de facto complainant. He had only
introduced him to a travel agency. But petitioner is falsely
implicated in this case. Petitioner was prepared to explain his
innocence to the investigating officer and he had reported before
the investigating officer on 08.06.2010 as directed by this court
and he was interrogated by the police.
4. Learned Pubic Prosecutor submitted that petitioner is
already questioned by the police and this petition is not opposed.

Magistrate, on condition that he shall
report before the investigating officer as
and when directed and co-operate with
