Though notice was issued to the opposite party no. 2 but no one turns up on behalf of opposite party no. 2 in spite of repeated calls. Apprehending their arrest, the petitioners have moved this Court for grant of privilege of anticipatory bail in connection with Gomia P. S. Case No. 91 of 2019 (G. R. No. 778 of 2019 ) registered under Sections 406/420/34 of the Indian Penal Code. The learned counsel appearing for the petitioners submits that the allegations against the petitioners is that they have withdrawn Rs. 3,26,000/- from the account of the informant by cheating. It is then submitted that the allegations against the petitioners are all false and petitioner no.

2 has given Rs. 17,000/-as loan to the informant and the informant has repaid the same to him and no other amount mentioned in the alleged statement of account filed by the informant, has been credited to the account of either of the petitioners, hence, they are no way responsible for the same. It is next submitted that the petitioners are ready to co-operate with the investigation of the case, hence, the petitioners be given the privilege of anticipatory bail. The learned Addl. PP opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioners. Considering aforesaid facts and circumstances of the case, I am inclined to grant the privilege of anticipatory bail to the petitioners. Hence, in the event of arrest by the police or surrender within a period of four weeks from the date of this order, the petitioners shall be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.

25,000/- (Rupees Twenty Five Thousand) each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned SDJM, Bermo at Tenughat in connection with Gomia P. S. Case No. 91 of 2019 (G. R.
