The Court made the following Order: “This Criminal petition is filed seeking to release the petitioner on bail in the event of his arrest in connection with Cr.No.228 of 2008 on the file of the Central Crime Station, Hyderabad, registered under Sections 406, 420, 426, & 506 I.P.C. It is alleged by the prosecution that the petitioner has allegedly sold away the lands even after cancellation of G.P.A., which was earlier given to the petitioner by one Vasanth Reddy and consequently given to the complainant. On a complaint made by the complainant, the police registered a case under Sections 406, 420, 426 & 506 I.P.C. Though it is alleged that the two cheques said to have been issued by the petitioner in favour of Vasanth Reddy were bounced, the remedy available to the complainant would be otherwise. At this stage, no material is filed to show that after cancellation of G.P.A. by Vasanth Reddy, the petitioner sold away the lands to some third parties with a dishonest intention to cheat Vasanth Reddy. In the absence of such an allegation, it is a fit case to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. 2 The petitioner shall be released on bail in the event of his arrest in connection with Cr.No.228 of 2008, on his executing a personal bond for a sum of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees ten thousand only) with two sureties for a like sum, to the satisfaction of the S.H.O., Central Crime Station, Hyderabad , with the following conditions: 1. that the petitioner shall make himself available for interrogation by the police as and when required. 2. that the petitioner shall not, directly or indirectly, make any inducement, threat or promise to any person, acquainted with the facts of the case.” Sd/-V.T.V.
