¶3The aforesaid case has been registered on the basis of an FIR. lodged on 06.01.2023 against three persons, not including the applicant, stating that the informant had made investments in the company for purchasing a plot but neither the plot was transferred to him nor was his money refunded.

¶5The learned A.G.A. has opposed the prayer for bail but he could not dispute the aforesaid aspects of the matter.
