Mr.Sumeet Puri, Advocate for the petitioner.

**** INDERJIT SINGH, J.

Petitioner has filed this petition under Section 438 Cr.P.C. for grant of anticipatory bail in case FIR No.67 dated 17.08.2018 under Section 420 IPC and Section 13 of Prevention of Human Smuggling Act, registered at Police Station Anaj Mandi, District Patiala. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner and have gone through the record.

From the record, I find that FIR in the present case, has been registered on the statement of Sanjeev Kumar. The allegations in the FIR are that present petitioner had taken `7.50 lakhs from the complainant for sending him, his relatives and friends to foreign country and has thus cheated the complainant. It is also in the FIR that Namnit Singh handed over a cheque on 01.03.2017 of `1,40,000/- but it was also bounced.
