2. The case of the prosecution is that the father of the defacto complainant borrowed a sum of Rs.1,20,00,000/- from the petitioner and gave a power of attorney in his favour. After the death of his father, the petitioner threatened the defacto complainant to execute a sale deed to him by charging exorbitant interest, which resulted in registration of the present case.
3. The learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the petitioner has been falsely implicated in this case and he is ready to abide by any conditions being imposed by this Court.
4. The learned Government Advocate (Crl.Side) has strongly objected to the grant of bail, contending that the investigation of the case is at the initial stage and if the petitioner/accused is let out on bail, there is every possibility of the accused tampering the witnesses/evidences and hampering the investigation. https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/
