September, 2014 and could not pay the balance amount since he was in custody. Despite having been granted bail vide order dated 21®^ September, 2016, respondent no. 2 has not complied the terms of settlement.

Bail was granted keeping in view the fact that investigation was over; respondent no. 2 was in custody for over two years; trial was likely to take time; material witnesses had already been examined, inasmuch as, maximum sentence provided under Section 406 IPG was thi-ee years and under Section 420 IPG was seven years. Learned counsel for the petitioner has placed reliance on Arvind Mohan Johri and
