I have heard learned counsel for the parties. 6.

A perusal of the FIR would show that as per the allegations there was an agreement to render services for installation of solar plant which was not rendered in time. The argument raised by learned counsel for the petitioner that it is a dispute of civil nature which has been given a criminal flavour carries weight. This Court is of the view that considering the nature of allegations against the petitioner, the petitioner deserves the concession of regular bail. 7.
