The alleged offence is under Section 420 and 34 of I.P.C. According to prosecution, petitioner along with second accused executed an agreement with defacto complainant, to lease out the premises of a bar hotel and received Rs.5 Lakhs towards the same but later she did not act in terms of the agreement and committed cheating. 3. Learned Public Prosecutor submitted that the charge sheet is already been laid on 15.12.2008 and petitioner is not required for the purpose of investigation. On hearing both sides, I find that petitioner may surrender before the court concerned at the earliest or appear before it on summons if any, issued and seek bail under Section 437 Cr.P.C. I do not find any ground to grant anticipatory bail at this stage of proceedings. The petition is dismissed. K.HEMA, JUDGE pac
