When the defacto complainant and another asked Ganta Anil Kumar (A.1), he replied that they nced TRC Card for which it will take three months time and gave evasive replies that it will take six months for Malta and have to bear their own expenses.

4. The contention of learned counsel for the petitioner is that the allegations are not against the petitioner herein. The name of this petitioner is not mentioned in the FIR. There is no whisper about the involvement of this petitioner in the FIR or in the complaint and only basing on the statement of Lu,.7 his name was mentioned in the remand case diary. He further contended that no specific role is attributed to the petitioner herein and he is falsely implicated in this case. Lw.7 on whose statement the petitioner herein was shown as accused, had executed an agreement with the pctitioner for processing VISA application, wherein there are clear terms :rnd conditions including payment of fees and refund of fee in thc evenl of VISA being denied. Learned counsel lurther contcndcd that petitioner is having valid licence to run his firm. Thc :rllc.gation of defacto complainant is that instead of sending ro Malt:r Countrv, he was sent to Latvia country, but therc is no cmplovment u hich itself shows that petitioner has already scnt the clclacto complainant to abroad. The allegations agaillst this 4 r-) petitioner are false. The other accused in this case are already granted anticipatory bail. As such, prayed to grant pre-arrest bail to the petitioner.

5. On the other hand, learned Additional Public Prosecutor filed counter opposing bail stating that this petitioner is the prime accused who is running Eegal Export [mmigration Consultancy, Secunderabad, he colluded with the accused firm "Abroad Study Plan Consultanq/ run by A. I and A.2 and in conspiracy with various agents who are mnning this racket of fake abroad emplolrment recruitment with forged documents and collecting huge amounts from the victims. Apart from collecting amounts, this petitioner also collected original certificates of innocent victims through their associates and threatened them not to report to police. Petitioner is not having any licence to run his hrm and the licence which he is possessing is a forgcd document. As there are serious allegations against the petitioner, his custodial interrogation is very much necessary for invcstigation. As such, prayed to dismiss this petition. 5-

6. Considering the submissions made by both the counsel and tl1e material on record, though petitioner's contenLion is that he is having licenct', the prosecution's case is that the same is a forged one. Theref<rre, investigation is required in this case. As such, this Court is not inclined to grant bail and the petition is liable to be dismissed.

7. Accordingly, this Criminal Petition is dismissed. MiscelLrneous applications, if any pending, shall stand closed \ \ Sd/. A.V.S. PRASAD DEPUW REGISTRAR ,*t SECT FFICER //TRUE COPY// To, 1 .
