(ORAL) The allegation against the petitioner is that he had obtained a loan of Rs.55000/- from the bank in the year 2001 on the basis of a fabricated salary certificate. On account of non-payment of the loan amount, the guarantor Kulwinder Singh, husband of the complainant, had paid the amount to the bank. The bank had returned the cheque to the Crl. Misc. No.M-23785 of 2010 [2] petitioner on account of the liability of the petitioner having been discharged by the guarantor. The petitioner misused the said cheque and filed a compliant under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act against the complainant. The said amount is pending against the complainant. The statement of the bank Manager that the petitioner had received the cheque has also been recorded by the police. Petitioner has already joined investigation. This does not appear to be a case of custodial interrogation. Petition is allowed and it is ordered that in case of arrest of the petitioner he will be ordered to be released on bail to the satisfaction of the arresting officer subject to the conditions that the petitioner will join investigation as and when required by the police and that he will not tamper with the evidence or hamper the investigation in any manner.
