Saste, APP, for the Respondent. Mr Ajay Kumar Gupta, the Original Complainant, present in person. CORAM:- A.M. THIPSAY, J. DATED :- 14 TH JUNE, 2011. P.C. : 1. Heard the learned Advocates for the parties. I have also heard Mr. Ajay Kumar Gupta, the original complainant, who is present in person. 2. I have gone through the complaint. On a fair reading of the complaint, it appears that the dispute between the Applicant and the original complainant is purely of a civil nature. Moreover, Mr. Chimalkar, the learned Advocate for the Applicant, submits that, admittedly, there were attempts of settlement of the matter and pursuant to the negotiations in that regard, the original ABA-395-11.sxw 2 Dixit complainant has, on 1st May, 2011, accepted an amount of Rs.4 lacs from the Applicant. Mr. Chimalkar submits a copy of the consent terms arrived at between the parties in that regard, which is taken on record. The original complainant does not dispute his signature on the consent terms. 3. Since the matter appears to be primarily of civil nature, it would be proper to protect the Applicant by grant of anticipatory bail. 4. The interim order passed on 3rd May, 2011, is confirmed. 5. The Anticipatory Bail Application is disposed of in terms of the said order. [A.M. THIPSAY, J.]
