The said case is mainly under Sections 420, 467, 468 of IPC. 3. Three cheques have been deposited by the present applicant in his account. The said cheques came to be encashed. The total amount of the three cheques was Rs.9,40,000/-. The complainant - Dena Bank lodged its FIR stating ..(2).. that all the three cheques are forged cheques and the applicant has encashed the same. It is the further case of Dena Bank that the said cheques have been lost from the Bank. The statements of three persons who have purportedly given the cheques have been recorded. They have denied issuing such cheques. Out of the amount of Rs.9,40,000/-, about Rs.7,50,000/- have been recovered at the instance of the applicant. In the present case, the investigation is still going on. Hence, I am not inclined to grant bail at this stage. Application for bail is rejected. 4. Liberty to the applicant to prefer a fresh application for bail before the Sessions Court after the charge-sheet is filed. On such application being preferred by the applicant, the learned Sessions Judge shall hear the matter afreseh and dispose it of on merits. (SMT.V.K.TAHILRAMANI,J.) (SMT.V.K.TAHILRAMANI,J.)
