Application for anticipatory bail. The petitioner apprehends arrest as the first accused in a crime registered under Section 420 I.P.C. The crime has been registered on the basis of a private complaint filed before the learned Magistrate and referred by the learned Magistrate to the police under Section 156(3) Cr.P.C. Investigation is in progress. The petitioner apprehends imminent arrest.2. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has no role whatsoever in the running of the chit in question. The crux of the allegations is that those who ran the chit collected money with dishonest and fraudulent motives and caused wrongful loss to the victim.
3. The learned counsel for the petitioner prays, the learned Public Prosecutor does not oppose the said prayer and I am satisfied that the petitioner can be granted anticipatory bail. Both sides point out that similar view has already been taken by this court as per common order dated 11/7/2007 in B.A.No.4172/2007 and connected matters. Detailed reference to facts is not, in these circumstances, necessary.
4. In the result, this petition is allowed. Following directions
are issued under Section 438 Cr.P.C in favour of the
petitioner.
