From the record, I find that as per the prosecution version, the FIR was registered on the statement of Bhagwant Singh.

As per the FIR, the complainant has alleged that he has friendly relations with Ranjit Singh and Gurdeep Singh.

As per the order of the lower Court, during investigation statements of account of the accused have been collected and the amount was transferred in the account of Ranjit Singh, who further transferred the amount in the account of Gagandeep Singh and Ashutosh Negi.

At the time of arguments, learned senior counsel for the petitioner also admitted that substantial amount was transferred in the account of Gagandeep Singh, but his argument is that Gagandeep Singh has invested that money and will refund the same when the amount became due or recoverable from investment.

Keeping in view the facts and circumstances of the present case, nature and gravity of the offences, the present petitioner is required for custodial interrogation.

Therefore, I do not find it to be a fit case where the petitioner is entitled for the benefit of grant of anticipatory bail.

Therefore, finding no merit in the petition, the same is dismissed.
