The applicant has filed this application for grant of anticipatory bail as he is apprehending his arrest in connection with Crime No. 198/2018 registered at Police Station- Aarakshi Kendra Tikrapara, Raipur (C.G.) for the offence punishable under Section 420 read with 34 of the IPC. 2.

As per prosecution story Shail Verma lodged a report alleging that the present applicant and other co-accused on the pretext of providing job obtained total Rs. 21,25,000/- from Pushpendra Verma, Murli Verma, Mahesh Verma, Pradeep and Roshan. Later on the applicant denied to provide job and did not return the money. On the basis of the said report, FIR has been registered.

3.

Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the applicant submits that the applicant has been falsely implicated in the present case. He is

innocent. He further submits that there is no evidence available on record which shows that the present applicant obtained any money from any of the complainant therefore, the applicant may be extended the benefit of anticipatory bail.

4.

Per contra, learned counsel appearing on behalf of the State opposes the bail application.

5.

I have heard learned counsel for both the parties. 6.

Considering the above facts and circumstances of the case and considering that there is sufficient evidence available on record regarding involvement of the present applicant in the crime in question, I am not inclined to release the applicant on bail. 7.

Accordingly, the anticipatory bail application is rejected. 8.

It is directed that on the event of surrender/arrest of the applicant and filing of the regular bail application, the Trial Court shall endeavour to hear and decide the same probably on the date of its filing itself. Sd/- Judge Arvind Singh Chandel Rahul
