Based on aforementioned allegations, police registered the crime in question against the applicant. 4.

Main accused namely Vinod Yadav, who has procured the money from complainant has already returned the amount of Rs.54,000/- to the complainant and the complainant has also submitted an affidavit in this regard before the Station House Officer, Police Station Bagicha, District Jashpur. There is no other criminal antecedent against the applicant, hence, he may be extended the benefit of anticipatory bail. 5. On the other hand, learned State counsel opposes the submission of learned counsel for applicant. However, upon 3 asking with regard to document Annexure A-4, he submits that the same is submitted before the Police Station concerned by the complainant. 6. Heard learned counsel for the parties. 7.
