This is an application under Section 438 Cr.P.C. filed by the Petitioner for anticipatory bail.

4.

It is submitted by the learned counsel for the Petitioner that the allegations made against the Petitioner are false and frivolous and the Petitioner is no way connected with the alleged crime. It is further submitted by the earned counsel for the Petitioner that the documents annexed with the bail application prima facie shows that no offence under section 420 of the Indian penal Code is made out against the Petitioner. On perusal of the record, it appears that the dispute arises basically out of commercial transaction.
