For the redressal of their grievances, the petitioners and other accused persons have filed complaint before the police but no case uptil now has been registered.
An application has been moved under Section 156(3) of the

It is submitted on behalf of the State that after the interim protection was given to the petitioners, they have joined the investigations.
The status report does not include the facts with respect to some of the petitioners having filed a case against the complainant. Be that as it may, there appears to be a dispute ofmoney between the parties.
It has further been submitted that the cheques were voluntarily signed by the complainant and the filing ofthis case is a ploy to create a defence in cases ofdishonour of cheques.
Considering the nature and circumstances ofthe case, this Court is incHned to allow the prayer ofthe petitioners.
Let the petitioners be released on bail in the event of their arrest on furnishing a bond of Rs.25,000/- with two sureties of the like amount, one such surety to be a close relative of the petitioners to the satisfaction of the Arresting Officer cum SHO concerned, subject to the condition that the petitioners would join the investigation and would not cause any impediment in the police bringing the investigation process to a logical conclusion. The petitioners would not threaten the complainant or would intimidate any one of the persons who could throw light on the prosecution version for unravelling the truth.
With these observations, the applications stand disposedof
