Heard learned counsel for the applicant, learned AGA for the State and perused the record. According to the prosecution case, the complainant, a retired Army Officer, purchased land bearing Gata No. 396, measuring 37.179 square meters, from the Director of Bridgegopy Developers, Anuj Singh Rajvat, the present applicant. It is alleged that the complainant paid a sum of Rs. 8,50,000/- through cheque, but the possession of the said land has not been handed over to him till date. It is further alleged that the sale deed executed in favour of the complainant was based on forged documents. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the dispute is essentially civil in nature, and the complainant has an alternative remedy of instituting a civil suit. It is further submitted that the applicant is willing to return the amount of Rs. 8,50,000/- to the complainant within two months from the date of his release, as specifically stated in paragraph 17 of the bail application. The applicant has also explained his criminal antecedents in paragraph 23 of the bail application. The applicant is languishing in jail since 03.12.2024.

aforesaid facts as argued by the learned counsel for the applicant.
