On 9.4.2023 the accused
persons have offered to supply for Rs.24.00 per kg and
9000 metric tons and executed letter of indent to Royal
Trade Company. As per the inducement of the accuse d
persons the complainant company in all transferred Rs.1╜
crore to accused No.1. On 25.6.2023 complainant company
CEO has visited Narasingpur, they did not find the accused
mill. The accused persons in conspiracy have offered to sell
maida flour and wheet flour and collected 1╜ crore and
cheated the complainant. On the basis of said allegations
the respondent police registered the case under sections

Solutions for getting deal signed at their desired price. The

in conspiracy with accused No.1 have induced the
complainant to pay Rs.1 ╜ crore to accused No.1 and
without supplying the products cheated the complainant or
not is a matter of investigation and trial. The custodial
interrogation of the petitioners may not be required.
Accused No.1 is already arrested and he has been taken for
police custody. The apprehension of prosecution could be
met by imposing suitable conditions. Considering the
guidelines of HonТble Apex Court in Satender Kumar

circumstances of the case, nature and gravity of the offence
and accusation leveled against the petitioner, he is entitled
for anticipatory bail.
