When the defacto complainant had demanded the said amount and jewels from A1 and A2, they refused to return the same and threatened the defacto complainant with dire consequences. Hence the case. 3.

Hence, he vehemently opposed to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners. 6. Heard both sides and perused the materials available on record. 7.
