Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant is innocent and he has been falsely implicated in the present case. He would submit that applicant is involved in the fishery business and was getting profit in the same and the complainant being a friend/colleague of the applicant shown his interest and invest his money and the complainant did not demand for the money from the applicant as the said loss was due to his own mistake, the said transaction has been done with the aim of doing business jointly and earing profit and after suffering loss in the joint business with the applicant, the complainant made complaint after three years of the loss in a buisness.

Considering the facts & circumstances of the case, gravity of offence and looking to the fact that the applicant and complainant were partner in the fishery business and complainant has made complaint after three years of business 3 loss, investigation and trial are likely to take time, therefore, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the present applicant. 6.
