The alleged offence is under Section 420 I.P.C. Learned counsel for petitioners submitted that petitioners have nothing to do with the running of business and they have not committed any cheating. Annexure A1 shows that they have retired from the partnership as early as in 2007 and the paper publications were also effected. The persons who are actually running the business have obtained anticipatory bail from the Sessions Court and hence, petitioners may be granted anticipatory bail. 3. Learned Public Prosecutor submitted that investigation is completed and charge-sheet is laid before the Magistrate Court concerned and hence, police is not intending to arrest petitioners. These submissions are recorded. B.A.No.7883 of 2008 2 On hearing both sides, I am satisfied that there is no ground to grant anticipatory bail to petitioners. Petitioners may approach the trial court and seek appropriate relief. The petition is disposed of accordingly. K.HEMA, JUDGE pac
