The prosecution's case, in brief, is that the complainant lodged a written complaint stating that in the year 2014 the accused Dr. M.K. Kanduja took a loan from the complainant for construction of a new hospital named as High-Tec Hospital for consideration of 15% interest and when the amount was not returned to the complainant the complainant lodged against the proprietor of the hospital. Consequently, offenses under Sections 420, 406/34 of the Indian Penal Code were registered. 3. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant is innocent and has been falsely implicated in this case. He submits that from the entire FIR, it appears that the allegations are levied against Dr. M.K. Khanduja and prima-facie the present applicant has no role to play in commission of the offences and, therefore, he prays for grant of anticipatory to the applicant. 4. On the other hand, learned State counsel, appearing for the non -applicant/State, opposes the bail application of the present applicant and submits that there is one other case registered against the applicant in connection with Crime No.49/2025 for the same offence, therefore, the applicant is entitled for grant of bail. 5. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the case diary. 3 6. Considering the facts & circumstances of the case, nature and gravity of offence and submissions of learned counsel for the parties and further considering the fact the transaction took place between the complainant and Dr. M.K. Khanduja and prima facie, the applicant has no role to play in the commission of offence, this Court find it appropriate to grant anticipatory bail to the applicant. 7.
