2. The allegation against the petitioners is that, under the pretext of registering the land, they received a sum of Rs.9,35,000/- from the de facto complainant. Hence, the case.
3. The learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that the petitioners are innocent and have not committed any offence as alleged by the prosecution and that they have been falsely implicated in this case. He further submitted that the petitioners are ready to co-operate with the investigation. Hence, he prayed for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioners.
4. The learned Government Advocate (Crl. Side) appearing for the respondent police strongly opposed the anticipatory bail application on the ground that the petitioners received a sum of Rs.9,35,000/- under the pretext of registering the sale deed in favour of the de facto complainant. He further submitted that, in respect of these petitioners (A5 and A6), a sum of Rs.1,76,000/- has been recovered.
5. Taking into consideration of the totality of the circumstances, this Court is of the firm view that no custodial interrogation of the petitioners is 2/6
necessary at this length of time. Hence, this Court is inclined to enlarge the petitioners on anticipatory bail, subject to certain conditions.
