4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner is innocent and has committed no offence. As a matter of fact, complainant took loan of Rs. 8 lacs from the petitioner for purchasing land on assurance that he would return entire money after six months but the same was no returned to the petitioner.
