In such view of the matter the informant had requested him to stop the payment of the said cheque to Ajay Kumar Sinha and it has been further stated that the informant had said that the said occurrence had occurred in connivance of the Bank officials.

The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that so far as the cheque of a sum of Rs. 4,75,000/- is concerned, though the same had been produced by the petitioner and the money was withdrawn thereafter, nonetheless, the Jharkhand High Court, by order dated 03.03.2017 passed in B.A. No. 991 of 2017 has been pleased to enlarge the petitioner on bail. It has been further submitted that so far as the instant case is concerned, firstly the cheque was issued in the name of Ajay Kumar Sinha and secondly, no monetary loss has been caused to the informant since the said cheque could not be encashed.

It is further submitted that the petitioner is in custody since 13.05.2016.

Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, I deem it fit and appropriate to enlarge the petitioner on regular bail.
