4. The learned Government Advocate (Crl.Side) submitted that the petitioner along with other accused persons had collected a sum of Rs.21,00,000/- from the deceased for the purpose of secure job. Thereafter, the petitioner along with other accused persons neither secured job nor returned the money, due to which, the deceased had committed suicide by pouring krishnaoil in his body and run away the lift and outside the road and died. He further submitted that the investigation is at initial stage. Hence, he vehemently opposed for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

5. Considering the fact that large amounts of money is involved and that the petitioner has cheated under the guise of job racket and also taking into consideration the fact that investigation is still going on, enlarging the petitioner on anticipatory bail at this point of time, when the offence is serious in nature and there is likelihood of the petitioner indulging in activities which would be prejudicial for investigation, this Court is not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

6. Accordingly, this Criminal Original Petition is dismissed. -sd/- 07/12/2021 This order, on being produced, be punctually observed and carried into execution by all concerned TRUE COPY Sub-Assistant Registrar (Statistics/C.S.) High Court, Madras - 600 104.
