The application for anticipatory bail is canvassed on the ground that the disputes between the petitioner and the de facto complainant are primarily civil in nature. 2. Learned counsel for the de facto complainant submits that the deposits slips under which the consideration paid by his client for purchase of immovable property from the applicants has been forged to indicate that the de facto complainant has voluntarily accepted return of the purchase price. 3.
