Learned State counsel has opposed the prayer for grant of anticipatory bail and submits that the applicant alongwith other co- accused persons have cheated the complainant to the tune of Rs. 30,61,800/- in the name of getting a job for the complainant's children, therefore, the applicant is not entitled for grant of bail. 5. Learned counsel for the objector submits that the applicant is also one of the account holders, who received money, which clearly 3 shows the involvement of applicant in the present case, therefore, the applicant is not entitled for grant of bail. 6. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the case diary. 7. Considering the facts & circumstances of the case, submissions of learned counsel for the parties and nature of dispute and material available in case diary, further considering the fact that the allegation against the applicant that though he alongwith other co- accused persons have cheated the complainant to the tune of Rs. 30,61,800/- in the name of getting a job for the complainant's children, but the applicant has no criminal antecedent, also considering the fact that the applicant is lady, without further commenting anything on merits, this Court find it appropriate to grant anticipatory bail to the applicant. 8.
