The Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner submits that petitioner has been falsely implicated in the instant case by the informant. It is next submitted that from perusal of the allegation as alleged in the FIR, it would manifest that informant alleges that petitioner had taken a loan of Rs. 22 lakhs from Ranjay through the husband of the informant, but then Ranjay has not approached any forum for recovering the loan amount nor has filed any case. It is further submitted that it is not the case of the prosecution that Ranjay was harassing or threatening the husband of the informant for getting his money returned from the petitioner. It is also submitted that similarly situated co-accused Bayash Yadav @ Byas Kumar Yadav had approached this court seeking anticipatory bail by filing Cr. Misc No. 71611 of 2025 and the same was allowed by an order dated 9-10-2025 passed by a learned Co-ordinate Bench. It is next submitted that petitioner will not abscond rather will cooperate in the investigation to prove his innocence. 5.
Learned A.P.P. for the State and the learned counsel appearing on behalf of the informant opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner.
