BNS, in Crime No.3 of 2026 on the file of the respondent police, seeks bail.

2. The case of the prosecution is that the accused persons approached the defacto complainant and induced her to invest money in order to get huge amount of returns. Believing their words, the defacto complainant send a sum of Rs.1,30,00,000/- through her bank accounts to the accused persons. Threatened, they did not give any money as profit or principal. Hence, the case.

3. The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner would submit that the petitioners are innocent and they have not involved in any offence as alleged in the FIR. The petitioners are falsely implicated in this case. Originally the defacto complainant borrowed money from the petitioners. She executed pronote to that effect. But, she did not repay the same. Hence, the petitioners have filed two suits before the civil court. As a counter blast to the same, the present complaint has been lodged by her. Therefore, prayed to grant bail for the petitioner.

4. The learned Additional Public Prosecutor appearing for the respondent would submit that the offence is grave in nature. The petitioners have cheated the defacto complainant to the tune of Rs.1,30,00,000/-. The amount involved 2/6

is huge. The petitioners has no previous case. Investigation is still pending. Hence, he vehemently opposed the grant of bail to the petitioners. However, the petitioners have no previous case.

5. This Court heard both sides and perused the materials available on record.

6. Considering the rival submissions made by the learned counsel on either side, and nature of allegations against the petitioners, considering that there is business transaction between the parties, there is no previous case pending against the petitioners and also considering the period of incarceration of the petitioner, this Court is inclined to grant bail to the petitioners subject to the following conditions:
