Anticipatory Bail Granted Where Prior Complaint and Blank Cheques Expose False Implication Amid FIR Inconsistencies | Bombay HC
The Bombay HC granted anticipatory bail after finding the FIR riddled with contradictions and the complainant’s prior complaint, coupled with recovered blank cheques, revealed a fabricated case of cheating under BNS. This sets a critical precedent for accused persons facing retaliatory FIRs in financial disputes, especially where procedural anomalies and pre-existing grievances undermine the prosecution’s credibility.
