2. The petitioner is apprehending his arrest in connection with Complaint Case No. 264 of 2022 for the offence under Sections 420, 120(B), 406, 467 and 468 of the Indian Penal Code.
3. As per the prosecution story, the complainant has alleged that for the purpose of constructing an educational institution, he required a certain piece of land. On 20.10.2018, the petitioner received part of the consideration amount by cheque and part in cash in pursuance of Sale Deed No. 3879. The petitioner further promised that the remaining amount of ₹4,98,000/- would be adjusted against the sale of additional
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.68787 of 2025(4) dt.27-01-2026 2/3 land. However, the accused-petitioner neither paid the balance amount nor executed any further sale deed.
4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is innocent and has been falsely implicated in the present case due to a land dispute. From perusal of the registered sale deed, it is evident that a cheque number has been mentioned therein; however, the said cheque was never issued by the vendee to the vendor, nor was the same ever encashed by the petitioner. The petitioner received the alleged consideration amount through cheque from the complainant towards the sale of a piece of land which was executed in favour of the complainant's wife. It is further submitted that the petitioner never entered into any oral or documentary agreement to sell any other piece of land in favour of the complainant. Moreover this is a Civil/money dispute between the parties. A statement has been made in para 3 of the bail application that petitioner has no criminal antecedent.
5. Learned APP opposes the prayer for bail.
6. Keeping in view the aforesaid facts, this Court is inclined to extend him the privilege of anticipatory bail.
7. Let the petitioner be released on bail in the event of arrest or surrender within a period of four weeks from the date
