have
no
intention
to
cheat
the
complainant. The offences alleged are not attract at all and
there is no any question of harassment by the petitioners.

facie prosecution papers discloses the involvement of the
petitioners in the alleged offence. If the petitioners are granted
the relief they may abscond and it causes delay in trial. They
may threaten the prosecution witnesses and evidence. They
may commit similar nature of offence. Hence, prayed to reject
the petition.
4.

Heard both the sides and perused the records.

The following points arise for my determination:­

My findings on the above said points are as
follows;
Point No.1
:
In the Affirmative
Point No.2
:
As per final order for the
following :­
Crl.Misc.No.3129/2024

REASONS
8.

Point
No.1:­
As
could
be
seen
from
the
prosecution papers, it is clear that, the complainant working
as a teacher in the High School run by the petitioner from
17.01.1985 to 25.07.2022. At the time of service petitioner
has collected High school examination certificate provision
certificate of I.A. examination (intermediate of Arts) and
provisional
certificate
of
B.A
and
also
mother
tough
certificate. The complainant also furnished B.ed and M.ed
certificate to the Institution run by the petitioner. Thereafter
complainant left the job on 25.07.2022 due to the troubles
given by the administration board. Thereafter complainant
requested the petitioner to return her educational certificate.
But till today petitioner has not returned certificate belongs to
complainant by one or other reason. Further the petitioner
also fails to pay gratuity and other funds. Due to the act of
the petitioners complainant suffered loss. Further due to the
illegal act of the petitioners complainant suffered physically
and
mentally.

Therefore
the
petitioners
intentionally
committed cheat and they also gave threat to the life of
Crl.Misc.No.3129/2024
5
complainant. Hence the complainant lodged the complaint
against the accused persons.

9.
have
not
The petitioners claims that they are innocent and
committed
any
offences
as
claimed
by
the
complainant. They have been falsely implicated in the present
case without having any sufficient reasons. The allegations of
the prosecution is to be consider during investigation and
trial.

The
apprehension
of
the
prosecution,
that
the
petitioners may threat the prosecution witnesses and they
may abscond from the jurisdiction. The same is to be consider
by
imposing necessary
condition.

They are
permanent
residents of Bengaluru. They are law biding citizens and have
got no bad antecedents.
10.

Learned PP argued that if the petitioners are
granted the bail, they may commit similar nature of offence.
They may abscond. Further the investigation is under
progress. They may tamper with the prosecution witnesses.
Whether the petitioners have committed the alleged offence is
a matter of investigation. The investigation is still under
Crl.Misc.No.3129/2024
6
progress.

Hence
the
petitioners
are
not
required
for
investigation. The grievance of the prosecution is to be
consider by imposing conditions. Under these circumstances,
this Court is of the opinion that the petitioners are entitled for
bail. Accordingly, I answer point No.1 in Affirmative.
11. Point No.2: In view of the above findings on point
No.1, this court proceed to pass the following:
