Learned counsel for the applicant states that he has not paid the balance amount because there is some dispute and the vendor failed to forward the tax invoice including Excise and VAT tax etc and final bills have not been received. Learned counsel for the applicants submits that in order to show his bonafides, without prejudice to the right and defence of the applicant, the applicant would deposit a sum of Rs.8,25,000/- with the learned trial Court, within a period of two weeks. In view of this, applicant's custodial interrogation may not be necessary 2 ABA 937 OF 2011 as learned APP has not been able to show inspite of instructions from the Investigating Officer that the applicant is involved in transaction of any larger amount. 2.
