deed was not executed by him in favour of the informant. Learned counsel appearing for the informant further adds that the petitioner has entered into an agreement with the informant on 04.04.2024 and for the same land, he has also entered into a further agreement with another person on 14.08.2024. He next submits that the petitioner has also threatened the informant to eliminate him, as four persons of Vasepur are residing along with this petitioner. On these grounds, they jointly submit that anticipatory bail may kindly be rejected.
5.
Considering that the petitioner has entered into the first agreement with the informant on 04.04.2024 and for the same land, he has also entered into a further agreement with another person on 14.08.2024, which prima facie suggests that the intention of cheating is there from the very beginning and further the allegations are also there of making a threat to the informant to eliminate him, as the four persons of Vasepur are residing along with him and in the attending
facts and circumstances of the case, I am not inclined to extend the privilege of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, his prayer for anticipatory bail is rejected.
