This is an application for grant of anticipatory bail in case FIR No. 232/2025 under Sections 406/420/120B IPC registered at P.S. Maurya Enclave. Brief facts: 2. The FIR was registered on the complaint of Satbir Chikara, who alleged that accused Amardeep Dahiya, his wife Malini Dahiya, and father Abhey Ram Dahiya induced him to advance a loan of over ₹2.40 crores between 2017–2018 by assuring repayment, transfer of residential plots at Panchkula, and partnership in their businesses. Despite execution of agreements to sell dated 18.09.2017 and further assurances through agreements in 2018 and 2024, the accused neither repaid the loan nor transferred the properties, which were already mortgaged and later sold to third parties. It is further alleged that the accused siphoned off amounts meant for ASD Tobacco Pvt. Ltd. for personal use, and through dishonest misrepresentations and conspiracy cheated the complainant, causing wrongful loss of about Rs. 6.37 c
