3. The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is an innocent person and the case has been falsely foisted against him by the respondent for statistical purposes. He further submits that the petitioner is ready and willing to abide by any conditions that may be imposed by this Court and hence, he prays to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

4. Learned Government Advocate (Crl.Side) reiterated the prosecution case and submitted that there was a dispute between the petitioner and the defacto complainant in their business transaction. Hence, he strongly opposed to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.
