accused persons.

¶15

It is submitted on behalf of the petitioners that it is apparent from the FIR itself that the agreement which was executed on 13.12.2019, was made between the informant and co-accused Sudhir Kumar Choudhary. Petitioners have been roped in this case only because they are gotiya and business partner of said co-accused. Not a single penny has been paid to the petitioners. Co-accused Sudhir Kumar Chaudhary has also filed Money suit no. 30/2023 on 31.5.2023 against the informant for recovery of Rs.93,66,000/-. Co-accused Sudhir Kumar Choudhary has already been allowed pre-arrest bail by a coordinate bench of this Court vide order dated 4.8.2023, passed in Cr.Mis.No. 45126/2023.

¶16

Learned counsel for the State as well as the informant oppose the prayer for bail.

¶17

Considering the fact that co-accused Sudhir Kumar Choudhary has already been allowed privilege of pre-arrest bail by a bench of this Court and no amount has been received by these petitioners, prayer for bail of all the petitioners is allowed. In the event of arrest/surrender within six weeks from today, let these petitioners, mentioned above, be enlarged on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.10,000/- (ten thousand) each with
