1.

Since both the anticipatory bail applications arise out of one and the same

case, hence they are taken up together and disposed of by common order.

2.

The petitioners are apprehending their arrest in connection with C.P. Case

No. 33 of 2016 for the offence under sections 323, 420, 506 and 34 of the

Indian Penal Code.

The prosecution case, in short, is that the petitioners along with his

associates entered into an agreement with the complainant for sale of 70 acres

of land within Mouza Shitalpur, Mouza No. 177, Khata No. 52,84, 71, 85, 73, 37

and other khatas and received Rs. Three lakhs but they did not got the sale deed

executed nor replied the notice dated 10.12.2016. It is also alleged that prior to

A.B.A. No.2616 of 2016

4.

Learned counsel for the petitioners has submitted that the petitioner has

been falsely implicated in this case and as a matter of fact, the petitioner and

co?accused entered into the agreement with the complainant and it has been

agreed that the petitioner and co?accused will arrange 70 acres of land in Mouza

Shitalpur on different rates and received a sum of Rs. 2 lakshs only as an

advance money on behalf of the raiyats and during the negotiation the

complainant side retracted from the terms and conditions as asked for directed

to get agreement from the raiyats. Further, it has been submitted that in the

aforementioned agreement which has been entered into by and between the

raiyats and the complainant party in presence of the petitioner a civil suit has

been filed by the complaint party against the raiyats namely Bipad Taran

banerjee, Jaideo banerjee and others bearing the original suit no. 143 of 2016. It

is further submitted that the present case is purely of civil nature. No case under

the alleged offences is made out again the petitioners as the petitioner is only a

broker.

A.B.A. No.3463 of 2016

5.

Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the petitioner has

been falsely implicated in this case . It is further submitted that the present case

is purely of civil nature. Further, from perusal of complaint petition, it appears

that petitioner and the co?accused both are merely land brokers and land owner

has not given any power of attorney. No case under the alleged offences is made

out against the petitioner.

6.

Learned A.P.P as well as learned counsel for the opposite parties opposed

the prayer for anticipatory bail.

7.

It appears that this court tried to reconcile the matter through process of

mediation but opposite parties have not taken interest for reconciliation.

8.

Further, it appears that lower court record was called from the court

concerned which has been received. From perusal of S.A of the complainant, it

appears that in para 2 of the S.A, complainant has stated that on 27.09.2014

an agreement was made for 70 acres land in Shitalpur Mauza and at the time of

agreement he had paid Rs. 3,00,000/?. Further, from perusal of lower court

record (vide annexure 2 & 2/1), it appears that two Cheques of Rs. One lac

each has been taken by the petitioner?Sushant Choudhary and an agreement

was prepared but the sale?deed was not executed.

9.

Considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances of the case and also

considering the nature of offence, I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to

the petitioners. Accordingly, their prayer for anticipatory bail is hereby rejected.

10.

Let a copy of this order along with L.C.R be sent to the court concerned.
