1. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits as follows. The petitioner was an employee of a Tour Operator Company. The principal accused being the Director of the Company had been arrested and was thereafter granted bail. Before lodging the FIR, the defacto complainant had approached the Consumer Dispute Redressal Forum.

2. Learned counsel appearing for the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail. He relies on the statements of the witnesses and certain documents seized.

3. Considering the materials available in the case diary, the alleged role ascribed to the present petitioner, the fact that the principal accused being the Director of the Company was arrested and was thereafter granted bail and the fact that charge-sheet has been submitted, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

4. In the event of arrest, the petitioner shall be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/- each with two sureties of like amount each, one of whom must be local, to the satisfaction of the Arresting Officer and also be subject to further conditions that the petitioner shall not threaten or intimidate the witnesses. The petitioner shall surrender before the learned jurisdictional Court and pray for bail within four weeks from date and shall attend the Court regularly.

5. Accordingly, the application for anticipatory bail is allowed.
