Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has entered into an agreement for selling of the land, pursuant to that he has taken the advance from different persons and that has come to the tune of Rs. 7,81,000/-. He next submits that the petitioner has only paid Rs. 21,000/- as an advance and the rest of the consideration amount has not been paid by him and in view of that the sale deed has not been executed. He further submits that for the same transaction, another purchaser has filed a case against the petitioner, which was numbered as Bariatu P.S. Case No. 287 of 2021, in which, the petitioner has faced the trial and has been acquitted. He also submits that the entire amount i.e. Rs. 7,81,000/- has already been returned by the petitioner as well as to the different proposed [ 2026:JHHC:24855] -2- purchasers by way of RTGS and to buttress his argument, he refers to Annexures- 3 and 4 series, which are the RTGS and bank transactions of payment to the different proposed purchasers by this petitioner. On these grounds, he submits that anticipatory bail may kindly be provided to the petitioner. 4. Learned A.P.P. appearing for the State through V.C. has opposed the prayer and submits that the allegations are there of taking money and not executing the sale deed. On this ground, she submits that anticipatory bail may kindly be rejected. 5. Annexures-3 and 4 series are the bank transactions made by the petitioner to different proposed purchasers and so far as the informant of the present case is concerned, the petitioner has already paid Rs. 21,000/-, which is evident from Annexure-3 of this petition and in the attending facts and circumstances of the case, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner, above named. 6. Accordingly, the petitioner, named above, is directed to surrender before the learned court within three weeks from today and in the event of his surrender / arrest, the petitioner shall be released on bail, on furnishing bail bonds of Rs. 25,000/- (twenty five thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each, to the satisfaction of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Giridih, in connection with Giridih (T) P.S.
