Crl.O.P.No.8795 of 2024 Crl.O.P.No.8795 of 2024 T.V.THAMILSELVI, J.

The petitioner who apprehends arrest at the hands of the respondent police for the offences punishable under Sections 406, 420 IPC r/w 120b, 34 IPC in Crime No.276 of 2023, seeks anticipatory bail. 2.The case of the prosecution is that the accused started a public limited company in the name and style of Star World and after starting this software company, they started collecting deposits from the public by assuring that they will give high rate of interest and the capital will be return within 3 months. After collecting substantial amount, they absconded. Hence the complaint.

3.The learned counsel for the petitioner would submit that the petitioner is an innocent person and he has been falsely implicated in this case. He would further submit that the petitioner had never gave any promise to collect the amounts and he never invite any depositors by giving promise to launch a new app or release any 3D dimensions books. Hence, he prays for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis
