2. The case of the prosecution is that the petitioner borrowed money from the de-facto complainant and failed to repay the same. Hence, the complaint.
3. The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submit that the petitioner has been falsely implicated in this case and he has nothing to do with the allegations made in the complaint. Therefore, he prays for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner.
4. The learned Government Advocate (Crl.Side) appearing for the respondent submits that it is case of money dispute and the investigation is still pending. Hence, he vehemently opposed for the grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner.
5. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner as well the learned Government Advocate (Crl.Side) and perused the materials available on record.
6. Considering the nature of offences that it is a money dispute between the parties, no previous case is pending against the petitioner, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner subject to the following conditions.
Accordingly, the petitioner is ordered to be released on bail in the event of arrest or on his appearance, within a period of fifteen days from the date on which the order copy made ready, before the Judicial 2/5
Magistrate VI, Coimbatore, on condition that the petitioner shall execute a bond for a sum of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand only) with two sureties each for a like sum to the satisfaction of the learned Magistrate concerned and on further condition that: [a] the petitioner shall report before the respondent on every Saturday for a period of four weeks.

[c] the petitioner shall not leave India without the previous permission of the Court;
[d] the petitioner shall not abscond either during investigation or trial.
[e] On breach of any of the aforesaid conditions, the learned Magistrate/Trial Court is entitled to take appropriate action against the petitioner in accordance with law as if the conditions have been imposed and the petitioner released on bail by the learned Magistrate/Trial Court himself as laid down by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in P.K.Shaji vs. State of Kerala [(2005)AIR SCW 5560].
