CORAM : N. W. SAMBRE, J.

DATE : 15th December, 2016 P.C.

The Applicant is seeking pre-arrest bail in Crime No.88 of 2016 registered with non-applicant police station based on the agreement of leave and licence.

The crux of the crime in question revolves around repayment of amount of Rs.8 Lakhs which intervenor claims to have deposited with the present Applicant-owner and the present Applicant failed to repay the same.

2/2 8-ABA-807-2016 The issue in my opinion can be squarely gone into by the competent Civil Court as regards whether the amount of Rs.8 Lakhs towards deposit was repaid to the Complainant or not. However, there is hardly any material to infer prima-facie involvement of the Applicant particularly in the matter of requirement of custodial interrogation.

Case for bail is made out. The applicant in the event of arrest be released on executing PR Bond of Rs.20,000/- with one or two sureties in the like amount.

Application stands disposed of.
