Heard learned A.P.P. as well as learned counsel for the informant, they have opposed the prayer for bail of the petitioner stating that the cheques are annexed with the case diary and the Investigating Officer also found the appointment letter as forged and further the petitioner has also cheated many persons. Moreover the petitioner has confessed his guilt before the police.
