Heard the parties.
2.
This anticipatory bail application under Section 482 & 484 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), 2023, have been preferred by the petitioners apprehending their arrest for offences under Sections 406/420/34 of IPC.
3. Learned A.P.P. representing the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail.
4.
It is alleged that the petitioners have taken Rs.40 Lakhs loan but has not refunded a single penny and thus they cheated the informant.
5.
Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner submits that the entire allegation is false and it is only a money transaction and due to alleged non-refund of the loan, this case has been registered.
6.
Mr. Niraj Kumar, appearing on behalf of the informant submits that there was an agreement which suggest that the petitioners have taken the money but they have not refunded the entire amount.
7.
From the arguments of the parties, I find that this is a case where petitioners alleged to have taken loan but are not refunding the same. Considering the nature of the allegation, I am inclined to allow this application.
8.
Accordingly, this Anticipatory Bail Application stands
