The Petitioners are accused Nos.1 and 2 in Crime No.241 of 2011 of Kuzhalmannom Police Station, Palakkad District. 2. The offences alleged against the petitioners are under Sections 406, 409 and 420 read with Section 34 of the Indian Penal Code. 3. The prosecution case is that the accused persons introduced themselves as the agents of a company called 'Assent' and induced the de facto complainant to part with a sum of Rupees Three lakhs. It is alleged that the accused promised high returns for the investment. The de facto complainant did get only Rupees Thirty eight thousand. But, he did not get the offered returns or the amount deposited by him. 4. The offences alleged against the petitioners are serious in nature. If anticipatory bail is granted to the Bail Appln.No.5684/2011 : 2 : petitioners, it would adversely affect the proper investigation of the case. In a case of this nature, I am of the view that anticipatory bail cannot be granted. For the aforesaid reasons, the Bail Application is dismissed. K.T.SANKARAN, JUDGE skj
