3.

Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the statement of Rajiya, Meena Tondon and P. Ramanamma who made complaint to the police were recorded and according to their statement it would reveal that no offence has been committed, therefore the applicant may be released on bail.

4.

Learned State counsel opposes the prayer for grant of bail. 5.

Perused the case diary and the documents which contains various statements of persons who have deposited different amounts at different point of time. Even appreciating evidence of the witnesses Rajiya, Meena Tondon and P. Ramanamma will not be feasible and giving finding on such examination and cross examination and to appreciate argument that how the amount could be deposited by the persons who were not earning, it is a matter to be decided after entire evidence is complete including other statement of the witnesses who also states that they have also deposited the amount. Considering the facts and circumstances and the nature of allegations, this court is not inclined to release the applicant on bail. 6.

Accordingly, the bail application is dismissed. Sd/- (Goutam Bhaduri) JUDGE gouri
