¶19

informant for sale of their lands, but only two sisters executed the sale deed, whereas the two sisters, namely, Nisha Devi and Kiran Devi refrained from executing the sale deed. Despite the fact that the informant paid the consideration money through a cheque of Rs.12,50,000/- and a cash of Rs. 12,00,000/-, these two sisters executed the sale deed in respect of some other persons. The further case of the informant is that these two sisters paid Rs. 12,50,000/- to the informant which was given by cheque. Further they paid Rs. 1,00,000/- cash to the informant, but still Rs. 11,00,000/- has not been paid.

¶20

Learned counsel for the petitioners has submitted that co-accused Nisha Devi and Kiran Devi had taken only Rs. 13,50,000/- from the informant and the entire money has been paid to him. The petitioner no.1 is husband of Kiran Devi, whereas petitioner no.2 is son of Kiran Devi. These two petitioners have been made accused as the consideration amount was transferred in their bank accounts.

¶21

On the other hand, learned APP, assisted by learned counsel for the informant, has submitted that he has given details of amount advanced to the petitioners. He has further submitted that the accused persons have taken altogether 24,00,000/- from the informant, but they did not return the Rs.

¶23

11 lakhs, neither they executed the sale deed in favour of the informant.

¶24

It is an admitted fact that the informant and coaccused are brother and sisters. The allegation is of not returning the money taken by the co-accused to the informant in lieu of transfer of the land. Prima facie, it appears a civil dispute.

¶25

Considering these facts and circumstances, let the petitioners above-named, in the event of their arrest or surrender within four weeks from the date of communication of this order, be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/-(ten thousand) each, with two sureties of the like amount each, to the satisfaction of learned A.C.J.M.-I, Bhagalpur in connection with Nathnagar P.S.Case No.387 of 2019 (G.R.No.3619/2019), subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) Cr.
