The allegations are that an amount of Rs.6,50,000/- was paid to the petitioner out of the total 17,00,000/- promised to him with the assurance that rest of the amount shall be paid after the family of the complainant reaches USA, where they wanted to visit their relatives.

The complainant, later, came to know that the house had already been sold and no money was paid to him. Therefore, the present FIR was lodged. 3. Such instances of fraud and cheating are rampant and on the rise in the State of Punjab, for which a special Act has also been enacted, but to no avail. The society is on blow-in mode and miscreants are taking advantage of the lesser punishment prescribed by law and are indulging in earning easy money by extending false promises to the residents of Punjab, who are desirous of going abroad. 4. In view of the above, no ground to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner is made out. 5. Petition is dismissed.
