Considering submission made by the learned counsel for the petitioner that the case arises out of a

// 2 // complaint case, which was subsequently registered as a P.S. Case after it was sent to the concerned police station under section 156(3) of Cr.P.C. and the dispute between the parties is basically civil in nature and the offences alleged are triable by Magistrate and on hearing the learned counsel for the State, I am inclined to release the petitioner on anticipatory bail and accordingly, this Court directs that in the event of arrest of the petitioner in connection with the aforesaid case, he shall be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.10,000/-(rupees ten thousand) with two sureties each for the like amount to the satisfaction of the arresting officer with further conditions that he shall make himself available for interrogation by the I.O. as and when required and he shall not directly or indirectly make any inducement, threat or promise to any person acquainted with the facts of the case so as to dissuade him from disclosing any facts to the Courts or to the investigating Officer.
