CRIME NO.NOT KNOWN OF 2017 ... RESPONDENT / COMPLAINANT For Petitioners: M/S.A.K.MANICKAM Advocate For Respondent : M/S.K.ANBARASAN, Government Advocate(Crl.Side) PETITION FOR ANTICIPATORY BAIL Under Sec. 438 Cr.P.C. ORDER : The Court Made the following order :- The petitioners, who are arrayed as Accused, apprehend arrest at the hands of the respondent police for the offences punishable under Sections 406 and 420 of I.P.C., in Crime No.487 of 2017, on the file of the respondent police, seek anticipatory bail. 2.The case of the prosecution is that the petitioners are the owner of the property. After consideration of Rs.6,00,000/- (Rupees Six Lakhs only), the petitioners leased out the property to the defacto complainant. Thereafter, the petitioners executed a sale deed to the third party.

Aggrieved by the same, the defacto complainant lodged a complaint before the respondent police. 3.The learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that the lease agreement with the defacto complainant does not prohibit to sale the property. In the present case, with the consent of lessor to sale the property in favour of the other persons, after knowing very well about the sale deed is executed in favour of the other person, the defacto complainant lodged a false complaint against the petitioners.

4.The learned Government Advocate (Criminal side) appearing for the State submitted that he did not dispute the factual aspects made by the learned counsel for the petitioners.
