4. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that as stated in para-9 of the bail application that since the complainant refused to purchase the land and asked for the return of his money, the petitioner no.1 transferred the money through Phonepe app and now there is no dues against the petitioner. Annexure-2 (series) has been brought on record to show the transfer of money through Phonepe App. However, the petitioners do not agree that any amount was paid in cash.

5. Learned counsel for the opposite party no.2 denies that fact that any money have ever been transferred into the account of the complainant, much less than Rs.4,40,000/- or a sum of Rs. 5,00,000/-.

However, at this stage learned counsel for the petitioners has made an offer that in order to show his bona fide he is agreeable to pay half of the amount of Rs.4,40,000/- i.e. Rs. 2,20,000/- in installments.

7. In such view of the matter, let the above named petitioners in the event of their arrest or surrender before the

8. However, after further payment of the rest of the amount within a period of two months, the provisional bail granted to the petitioners shall stand confirmed by the learned Court below.
