The defacto complainant was engaged as a sub contractor for installation of petrol bunks and both entered into an agreement. While so, all the works at the sites were completed and the payment for the work order was released. But the deposit amount was not being paid as the petitioner's father was not available. Eventually, the petitioner shouted at the defacto complainant and hence, the defacto complainant has lodged a case at D-1 Fairland Police Station. 3.

already been settled before the mediation and he prayed to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.
