Case of the prosecution is that, on o7.10.2024, the de-facto complainant lodged a report stating that he borrowed money as a loan for family necessities from accused No.1. Despite repaying more than the borrowed amount, the accused continued to demand additional payments. Accused forcl'bly obtained his signatures on empty cheques, promissory notes, and white papers. Furthermore, the accused, with the assistance of the petitioner, A3, and A4, forcibly took away household items and a Motorcycle bearing No.AP16DE9994. The de-facto complainant also alleged that the accused threatened to file a complaint in the court if, they failed to repay the amounts. 4. Heard. Perused the record. 5. A perusal of the record goes to show that there are certain civil litigations pending between the defacto complainant and the accused. Therefore, in order to settle civil litigation that has been pending, thl-s case appears to have been registered at a belated stage on 07.10.2024. After lapse of one year, the present complaint has been filed, as against the petitioner herein.

Accordingly, in the event of his arrest, petitioner/accused Nos.2 shall be released on bail on executing a personal bond for a \.----,..` 3 ~/ sum of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees ten thousand only) each, with two sureties for the like sum each to the satisfaction of the arresting POIice officials and also on condition that the petitioner shall make themselves available for investigation as and when required and that he shall not cause any threat, inducement or promise to the Prosecution Witnesses.
