He further submitted that her documents were misused by the other accused and that the petitioner has already deposited a sum of Rs.2,50,000/- before the Court.

Per contra, the learned Government Advocate (Crl.Side) appearing for the first respondent submitted that there are sufficient materials on record to show that the petitioner conspired with the other accused and by producing fabricated documents, obtained the loan. He further submitted that the question as to whether the petitioner had knowledge of the alleged acts or not is a matter for trial and that the proceedings cannot be quashed insofar as the petitioner is concerned.
