Rs.1,46,54,204/- by inducing the informant and the Company’s Director to invest in their company and they also duped the informant and company Director by enumerating forged address of their company on the GST portal. He further submits that all these allegations are fake and in view of that anticipatory bail may kindly be allowed.
4. Learned State counsel vehemently opposes the prayer and submits that such a huge amount on the endorsement was invested by the informant and in the inquiry, it was found that the said company is not existing and the petitioner is also facing another case of identical nature in the State of Orrisa.
5.
Between the period 24.12.2022 to 13.11.2023 Rs.1,46,54,204/- was invested in accused person’s company Vishwa Infra by the End 2 End Private Ltd Company. Memorandum of Understanding was also between the lender and the borrower and according to that accused persons had to return the money to End 2 End Company. Two cheques have also been issued by the petitioner but those cheques were not presented for encashment on the request of the petitioner and the validity of those cheques has elapsed. Legal notice was sent by the informant to the accused persons on the address enumerated in the GST portal and residential address which has returned back with endorsement ‘no

such company is existing’. In paragraph nos. 12, 12, 20 and 21 of the case diary, statement of the witnesses have supported the case of swindling the huge amount of the informant company. In paragraph no.25 of the case diary, it has come that notice under section 41(A) Cr.P.C was issued however the petitioner was not replied to the same and even not cooperated.
6. In the attending facts and circumstance of the present case, I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner, and hence, the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioners is, hereby, rejected and consequently, this petition being A.B.A. No.941 of 2026 is, hereby, dismissed.
