The petitioner who apprehends arrest at the hands of the respondent police for the offence punishable under Sections 406 and 420 of I.P.C, in Crime No.265 of 2022, seeks anticipatory bail.

2. The case of the prosecution is that the petitioner along with other accused persons approached the defacto complainant and stated that they are having an extreme powerful object which will fetch good profits and demanded a sum of Rs.30 lakhs from the defacto complainant. The defacto complainant also paid the said sum. Thereafter, the accused persons gave a bag with bricks and instructed to open after three hours. Thereafter, it was found that the defacto complainant was cheated. Hence, the complaint.

3. It is seen from the records that this is the third anticipatory bail petition filed by the petitioner. The earlier petitions filed by the petitioner were dismissed. The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner has been falsely implicated in this case and he is ready and willing to abide by any stringent condition that may be imposed on him. https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis

6. Accordingly, this Criminal Original Petition is dismissed. 30.08.2022 mn Crl.O.P.No.20732 of 2022 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis
