He would submit that the applicant has criminal antecedents of similar nature registered in the year 2026 and one criminal case of preventive action. He would contend that there is direct allegation of fraud etc. against the present applicant, therefore, bail application deserves to be dismissed. 5.

Perusal of case diary and contents of F.I.R. would show that a sum of Rs.6,500/- was transferred by Sakira Begum and Rs.1,50,000/- was transferred by Manish Biyani on different dates for purchase of Bakery items. Both above stated persons have not made any allegation of 3 fraud or cheating, further charge-sheet has already been filed, the applicant is in jail since 30.07.2026 and there are only two criminal antecedents of the present applicant which have been explained properly, therefore, I am inclined to release the applicant on regular bail.
