JUSTICE GOPAL PRASAD ORAL ORDER 3 31-05-2012 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. This is an application for grant of anticipatory bail for the offence under [STATUTE] . It is alleged that a sum of Rs. 2,20,000/- was paid to petitioner by the informant on the pretext of selling the vehicle and even the sale letter was executed but the delivery of the vehicle was not given. It is alleged that the petitioner backed out from the sale agreement and gave a cheque of Rs. 2,20,000/- for returning the amount received by him, but the cheque was bounced. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits the cheque was lost for which he has filed a Sanha in the police station and hence he has denied returning the amount.
