Bail Application No.2156 of 2009

Dated this the 21st day of April, 2009
O R D E R
In this Petition filed under Sec. 438 Cr.P.C., the
petitioner, who is the accused in Crime No.9/2009 of
Thrikkodithanam Police Station for offences punishable
under secs.420 read with 34 of I.P.C., seeks anticipatory
bail. According to prosecution, the petitioner collected
certain amount from the defacto complainant and did not
repay the same and thereby cheated her.
2. The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the
application.
3. Anticipatory bail cannot be granted in a case
involving such grave offence. It is too early to accept the
petitioner’s contention that the petitioner has been
falsely implicated. There is no reason why the petitioner
should not surrender before the magistrate concerned
and seek regular bail. Accordingly, If the petitioner
surrenders before the Magistrate concerned within two
weeks from today and files an application for regular
bail, the same shall be considered and disposed of
B.A.No.2156 of 2009

preferably on the same day on which it is filed.
With the above observation, this Application is disposed
of.
