T.N.Rajavel v. State Rep.By

T.V.THAMILSELVI,J.

The petitioner, who apprehends arrest for the alleged offences punishable under Sections 406 and 420 of I.P.C 1860 in Crime No.667 of 2022, on the file of the respondent police, seeks anticipatory bail.

2. The case of the prosecution is that the petitioner offered to sell a vacant land alleging that the property belongs to him and received a sum of Rs.11,60,000/-. Thereafter neither registered the property nor returned the money back to the defacto complainant and thereby cheated the defacto complainant. Hence the complaint.

3.The learned counsel for the petitioner would submit that the petitioner had borrowed a hand loan from the defacto complainant and thereafter settled the same. He further submits that a false case has been foisted against the petitioner. Hence prays for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

4.The learned Government Advocate (Crl.Side) would submit that the petitioner entered into a sale agreement with the defacto complainant and received a sum of Rs.11,60,000/- from him and thereafter failed to execute the sale agreement. Subsequently when the defacto complainant asked to return the money back the petitioner gave a evasive reply and thereby cheated the defacto complainant by not returning the money. Hence he vehemently opposed for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

5. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case and the nature of offence committed by the petitioner, this Court is not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

6. Accordingly, the Criminal Original Petition is dismissed. 14.02.2023 smn
