It is submitted that a sum of ₹11,98,000/- was transferred by the complainant into the applicant’s account, out of which Rs. 11,55,000/- was further transferred by the applicant to the account of the principal accused, who is the owner of the firm. It is further alleged in the complaint that, apart from the said RTGS transfer, certain amounts were also paid in cash to the accused persons. 4. This Court, vide order dated 17.02.2026, granted interim bail to the applicant for a period of five weeks, subject to the condition that he shall deposit the remaining amount of 2026:UHC:2443 ₹2,00,000/- in the account of the complainant within four weeks from the date of his release. 5.

Learned counsel for the complainant concedes that the entire outstanding amount has been paid by the applicant and nothing further remains due towards the complainant. 7. Per contra, learned State Counsel submits that apart from the present case, three other criminal cases are stated to be pending against the applicant. 8.
