It is alleged that the applicant alongwith others hatched conspiracy and cheated for which Krishna Bai lodged a report that Rs.46,200/- total was deposited and during investigation it was found that such allurement was also extended to Mangi Bai and Rokhanlal. 3.

Learned counsel for the applicant submits that only Rs.12,00/- was deposited in the account of the applicant and if someone deposits in the account then how the applicant can be held liable, therefore no case is made out against the applicant and he may be released on bail.
