For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Bijendra Kumar Singh For the Opposite Party/s : Mr. Ram Chandra Sahni (App) ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE JITENDRA MOHAN SHARMA ORAL ORDER 23-04-2015 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned counsel for the State.

In this application for anticipatory bail the petitioner apprehends his arrest for the offences punishable under section 420 of the I.P.C.

Allegedly, the informant got insurance policy from Tata A.I.G. vides policy no. C- 201800096 dated 08.11.2004 through the petitioner and started depositing premium of Rs. 8475/- and in different installments a sum of Rs. 33,900/- was deposited but receipt was given only of two installments. Inspite of repeated demand the petitioner did not hand over receipt, then legal notice was sent but no reply was given and in that way it is alleged that the petitioner cheated the informant.

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.48778 of 2014 (2) dt.23-04-2015 2/2 Submission is of false implication and that the petitioner was working under G.T.F.S. Multi Services Limited as coordinator and his duty was to maintain connectivity between the agent and with the depositors. The alleged deposit was made ten years back and after long lapse of time the informant sent notice which was duly replied. The informant and the petitioner are covillager and only with a view to blackmail the petitioner this case has been lodged and no offence as alleged is made out. The learned A.P.P. opposes prayer for pre-arrest bail of the petitioner.

In the facts and circumstances as stated above, the petitioner in case of his arrest or surrender within two months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order shall be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (Ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of. C.J.M. Purnea in Barahara P.S. Case No. 84 of 2014, subject to the conditions as laid down in section 438 (2) of the Cr.P.C.
