He submits that the applicant had already lodged the first information report against one of the co-accused and in retaliation, on the instance of the same, the first information report has been lodged though, there was some money dispute in between the parties and therefore, the applicant returned back the amount Rs.6,18,000/- to the informant and now, there is no dispute remains and therefore, the chargesheet has been filed only under section 420 of IPC. He further added that no such offence has ever been committed and due to anonymity, the first information report was lodged.

Considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances of the case, till the next date of listing, the present applicant- Sachin Sharma shall be released forthwith in the aforesaid case crime (supra) on an interim anticipatory bail on his furnishing personal bond and two solvent sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of the court concerned with the following conditions:- (i) that the applicant shall make himself available for interrogation by a police officer as and when required; (ii) that the applicant shall not, directly or indirectly make any inducement, threat or promise to any person acquainted with the facts of the case so as to dissuade him from disclosing such facts to the court or to any police officer or tamper with the evidence; (iii) that the applicant shall not leave India without the previous permission of the court; (iv) that in case chargesheet is submitted the applicant shall not tamper with the evidence during the trial; (v) that the applicant shall not pressurize/ intimidate the prosecution witness; (vi) that the applicant shall appear before the trial court on each date fixed unless personal presence is exempted; (vii) that in case of breach of any of the above conditions the court concerned shall have the liberty to cancel the bail.
