Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner awarded a tender. The petitioner executed such tender. The petitioner submitted its bill with the authorities. Thereafter, the present police complaint was lodged.

Learned advocate appearing for the State draws the attention of the Court to the materials in the case diary. He contends that, the petitioner obtained the contract on the basis of forged document.

The petitioner was awarded a tender which was executed. The petitioner raised bills on the authorities awarding the tender.

Whether the documents are forged or not is an issue which need not to be gone into at this stage. The investigations are yet to be concluded.

Considering the gravity of the offence and the involvement of the petitioner there, we are inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

Accordingly, we direct that in the event of arrest the petitioner shall be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand Only), with two sureties of like amount each, to the satisfaction of the arresting officer and also be subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 and on further condition that the petitioner shall report before the Investigating Officer once in a month till the conclusion of the investigation and on further condition that the petitioner shall appear on every date before the jurisdictional Court on and from the date fixed for appearance of the accused and in default the jurisdictional Court will pass appropriate order to secure the presence of the petitioner in Court including cancelling the anticipatory bail granted without further reference to this Court. Prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner is allowed. CRM (A) 4815 of 2022 is disposed of.
