The petitioner is the first accused in Crime No.495/07 of Central Police Station, Kochi, registered for offence under Section 420 IPC. The allegation against him is that he, along with his wife, has cheated the defacto complainant, receiving Rupees eight lakhs from him, making him to believe that they would purchase valuable diamond stones for him from one Karuppuswamy of Kodaikkanal. Considering the nature of the offence committed, I am not of the view that this is a fit case, where anticipatory bail can be granted to the petitioner. In the result, I dismiss this bail application. 4th May, 2007 (K.P.Balachandran, Judge) tkv
