ANJANA PRAKASH ORAL ORDER 03. 18.07.2012 Heard learned counsel for the Petitioner and the State. The Petitioner seeks bail in a case instituted for the offences under [STATUTE] . The Petitioner was allowed provisional bail for a period of nine months on his undertaking that he would refund half of Rs. 24,00,000/- (Twenty Fourt Lakhs) i.e. Rs. 12,00,000/- (Twelve Lakhs) to the Complainant in this period. A modification petition had been filed in the meanwhile on 04.04.2012 which was to be considered Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.31724 of 2011 (3) dt.18-07-2012 2 and the stage of final disposal of the case since he had produced a cheque of Rs. 2,00,000/- (Two Lakhs) payable to the Complainant. Today the stand of the Petitioner is that in fact the Petitioner does not owe the Complainant Rs. 12,00,000/- but only Rs. 7,00,000/- in all and he produces one cheque payable to the Complainant. The Complainant refuses to acknowledge the same. Considering that the Petitioner was granted provisional bail for nine months on his undertaking that he would refund Rs. 12,00,000/- (Twelve Lakhs) to the Complainant but now has changed his stand and failed to honour the same, the application for bail is, hereby, rejected. The Trial Court is directed to take stringent steps for arrest of the Petitioner. Vikash/- (Anjana Prakash, J.)
