The applicants were arrested in a similar matter previously and now arrested in present matters. Investigation is completed. Chargesheet has been filed and requested to allow the applications.

It is contention of learned APP that the applicants have antecedents. The fraud amount in the present case was transferred in the bank accounts of the applicants. It shows their involvement in the crime and requested to reject the application.
