I have heard the learned counsel for the applicant and learned A.P.P. for the Respondent-State.

5.

According to the complainant himself, he has not repaid the amount of Rs.50,00,000/- borrowed by him from the applicant and his father. Therefore, prima facie the possibility of false implication cannot be ruled out. There appears to be no need of custodial interrogation. Considering the overall facts and circumstances, I am inclined to release the applicant on anticipatory bail.
