The petitioner filed this bail application in F.I.R. No.162 of 2006 dated 4-4-2006 under section 489-F, P.P.C. The said F.I.R. was registered at Police station, Alipur Chatha, District Gujranwala. Briefly, according to the FIR the petitioner obtained a loan of Rs.1,50,000 from the complainant which he did not return. To return the said loan or liability, the petitioner issued dishonestly a cheque which was dishonoured. The complainant again contacted the petitioner and requested him for payment of the loan which he refused. Accordingly the above F.I.R. was registered. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that no loan was obtained by the petitioner. The complainant who is a peon in the bank, manoeuvred a false cheque in the name of the petitioner. Learned counsel for the State submits that petitioner has been found guilty during the course of investigation and he has been accordingly challaned. Investigation in the case is complete and challan has already been submitted, therefore, petitioner is no more required for the above purpose. The offence provides three years punishment.
