                                       ORAL ORDER

3   08-07-2026                             Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and

                   learned A.P.P. for the State. Despite valid service of notice, no

                   one appeared on behalf of O.P. No. 2.

                                        2. The petitioner apprehends his arrest in a case

                   registered under Sections 318(4) and 316(2) of the Bharatiya

                   Nyaya Sanhita.

                                    3. As per the F.I.R., it is alleged that the accused

                   persons, including the petitioner, on the false pretext that they

                   provided loans at low interest rates, took Rs.6,69,000/- cash and

                   Rs.9,18,000/- through bank transfer from the informant. When

                   informant demanded his money, the accused persons gave

                   Rs.1,75,000/- only. It is also alleged that when informant

                   demanded his rest amount, the accused persons threatened him

          with dire consequences.

                          4. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the

          petitioner submits that petitioner is innocent and has falsely

          been implicated in the present case due to oblique motive.

          Further submission is that petitioner has not taken any amount

          from the informant. The dispute is with regard to monetary

          transaction and there is no specific date, time or place stated in

          the FIR with respect to when the alleged transaction has taken

          place. The primary allegation is against co-accused Bhola Ram,

          who has been granted regular bail by the learned Trial Court.

          Learned counsel further submits that petitioner has got one

          criminal antecedent in which he is on bail. Petitioner undertakes

          to cooperate in the investigation and trial. There is no chance of

          absconding of the petitioner or tampering with the evidence.

                        5. Learned A.P.P. for the State opposed the prayer for

          bail.

                        6. Having considered the facts and circumstances of

          the case, submissions of learned counsel for the parties and

          nature of dispute, let the above named petitioner be released on

          bail, in the event of arrest or surrender before the learned court

          below within a period of six weeks from today, on furnishing

          bail bond of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand) with two

                      Chief Judicial Magistrate, Gopalganj in connection with
