Prayer in this petition, filed under Section 482 of BNSS, 2023, is for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner, who has been booked for having committed the offences punishable under Sections 406, 420 and 34 of IPC, in a case arising out of FIR No. 118, dated 22.03.2024, registered at Police Station Sonipat City, District Sonipat.
From the contents of the FIR, it is apparent that the money transactions were there between the petitioner or petitioner’s party on one side and the complainant/complainant/s party on the other side. From the period mentioned in the FIR, it comes out that from 2008 to 2018, the loan amount was given to Nisha @ Rubi (mother of the petitioner). Thus, counsel argues that basically, there may be some money dispute between the parties, however, the story has been coloured with the version of sending the son of the complainant abroad.
