¶2The case of the prosecution is that the defacto complainant is a tenant under the petitioner and paid an advance amount of Rs.1 Lakh for occupying the landed property of the petitioner.

¶5Considering the facts and circumstances of this case and the fact that no previous case was registered against the petitioner, this Court is inclined to grant relief to the petitioner.

¶6Accordingly, this Criminal Original Petition is allowed and the petitioner is ordered to be released on bail in the event of arrest or on his appearance, before the learned Judicial Magistrate No.6, Trichy, on condition that the petitioner shall execute a bond for a sum of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand only) each with two sureties each for a like sum to the satisfaction of the learned Magistrate concerned and the petitioner shall appear before the respondent police daily at 10.30 a.m., until further orders.
