2. The case of the prosecution is that the petitioner and other accused cheated the defacto complainant by giving false promise that they will arrange government job in Commercial Tax Department for the defacto complainant and her sisters.

He has not committed any offence as alleged by the prosecution. He would further submit that occurrence said to have been taken place in the year 2022 and however, FIR was registered only on 22.01.2026 and A2 was released on bail. 2/6

He further submits that there is a money dispute between the parties and the petitioner has no previous case. However, he opposes to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

5. Heard both sides and perused the materials available on record.
