CRL OP(MD). No.4558 of 2020 and enquiring the matter. In such circumstances, the petitioners have approached this Court for anticipatory bail apprehending arrest for the offences under Sections 406, 420 and 506(i) of IPC. 4.The learned counsel appearing for the petitioners would submit that it is purely a money dispute. He would further submit that the petitioners have paid the amount of Rs.2,00,000/- and for the balance amount of Rs.2,00,000/-, cheque was given. Since the said cheque bounced, the defacto complainant had initiated proceedings under Section 138 of Negotiable Instruments Act. 5.The learned Government Advocate (Crl. Side) appearing for the respondent Police would submit that only if the petitioners participated in the enquiry, truth will come. 6.

This Court is of the considered view that there is no necessity to grant anticipatory. However, if the petitioners cooperate with the investigation, the respondent police shall not take any coercive measures. On completion of the investigation, if there is any cognizable offences committed by the petitioners, they can proceed against the petitioners in accordance with law. 7.With the above direction, these criminal original petitions are disposed of.
