The applicant is seeking anticipatory bail in C.R.No.I-187/A/07 of Nizampura Police Station. The said crime has been registered against the applicant for having allegedly committed an offence punishable under sections 406 and 420 of IPC. The only allegation against the present applicant is that he allegedly sold cotton thread worth Rs.4,05,900/- and did not remit that amount to the complainant. He was acting as broker and he was entitled to receive only brokerage. As against this, the applicant has stated in the application that he simply introduced Asar Momin, to whom the said cotton thread were supplied and he had not collected any payment from him. Having considered the rival claims and overall facts and circumstances of the case, I am satisfied that this is a fit case to grant anticipatory bail.Hence, the following order. . In the event of arrest, the applicant to be released on bail in the sum of Rs.25,000/-, with one or two sureties to make up the said amount, subject to condition that the applicant shall report to the concerned police station every alternate day between 10 and 11 am till 15.10.2008, except the period between 27th and 31st October, 2008, and thereafter on 2nd and 4th Saturday of every month for a period of 90 days from the date of his formal arrest or till the chargesheet is filed, whichever is earlier. .
