Petitioner has filed this petition under Section 438 of Code of Criminal Procedure for grant of anticipatory bail in case FIR No.43 dated 29.7.2009, under Sections 406/420 of Indian Penal Code, Police Station Gharinda, District- Amritsar. The allegations levelled against the petitioner are that the petitioner alongwith co-accused had taken money from the complainant to send his son abroad. However, the son of the petitioner was neither sent abroad nor the money, paid by the complainant, was returned. Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the petitioner was innocent and has been falsely involved in this case. No overt act has been attributed to the petitioner in the FIR. In fact, the allegation against the petitioner is that he had assured the complainant that he would ask the other accused to return his money. Crl. Misc. No. M-33113 of 2009 2 Learned State Counsel, who is assisted by the learned counsel for the complainant, has opposed the petition. After hearing the learned counsel for the petitioner, I am of the opinion that the instant petition deserves dismissal. The allegations levelled against the petitioner are serious in nature. As per the FIR all the accused had been paid Rs.2,45,000/- by the complainant for sending his son abroad. However, the son of the complainant was neither sent abroad nor the money was returned to the complainant. In these circumstances, no ground for interference is made out. Dismissed.
