Learned counsel for the applicant would submit that the applicant has been falsely implicated in this case and he himself is the victim. It is further submitted that initially the applicant has contacted one Rajesh Shrivastava to him the applicant has paid Rs.4,30,000/- and when he could not appoint, he assured the applicant to get the amount returned through himself or through some one else, consequently, different amount was transferred in the account of the applicant and total Rs.3,75,000/- was deposited in the account of the applicant. Therefore, the counsel prays that the applicant may be enlarged on bail.

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

Perused the case diary, documents, statement of Chetan Kumar Thakur, wherein allegations have been levelled that cash amount was also paid to the present applicant and other co-accused. Taking into such statement as the joint allegations have been levelled against the applicant, I am not inclined to release the applicant on bail.
