However, after going through the material on record, particularly; the statement made in paragraph - 3 of the petition, which indicates that petitioner is accused in about 17 cases mostly for the offence under Sections 392, 395 and 397 of the Indian Penal Code, the Court is of the opinion that only on the ground
