State of Chhattisgarh Through - Police Station - Bhatgaon, District Surajpur (C.G.) ---- Respondent For Applicant :- Mr. A.N. Pandey, Advocate For Respondent/State :- Mr. Anant Bajpai, Panel Lawyer Hon'ble Shri Justice Goutam Bhaduri Order on Board 01/03/2016 1.

Apprehending in connection with Crime No 116/2014 registered at Police Station- Bhatgaon, District Surajpur C.G.) for the offence punishable under section 420/34 of Indian Penal Code. The applicant has preferred this application for grant of anticipatory bail. 2.

As per the prosecution case, in brief, a complaint was made by Tarachand and Abdul Rashid that on 20.07.2014, the present applicant alongwith other co-accused person have allured the complainants to deposit the money in their chit fund company with the assurance that the money would be doubled within three years, therefore, Tarachand had deposited Rs. 2, 30,000/- and Abdul Rashid had deposited Rs. 85,000/- in there company, thereafter, the money has been misappropriated. 3.

Counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant has falsely been implicated in this case and the applicant is dealing in the business of

selling bangles and carpets and it is completely improbable that the without knowing the nature and business of the company how the said amount was deposited at the instance of this applicant and therefore, prima-facie, it appears that the statement of the complainants are completely false thus, the applicant may be given the benefit of anticipatory bail.

4.

Per contra, State counsel opposes the prayer for grant of bail. 5.

Perused the statement of Tarachand and the other witness wherein they categorically stated that the applicant has allured the persons to deposit the money in his chit fund company with the assurance that the money would be doubled within three years, therefore, I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the applicant.

5.

Accordingly, the anticipatory bail application is dismissed Sd/- (Goutam Bhaduri) JUDGE Santosh
