    The Additional District & Sessions Judge-II, Katihar rejected the anticipatory bail petition of Santosh Mahto, finding prima facie evidence that he committed cheating and misappropriation by accepting Rs. 6,10,000 from the informant's husband for a land sale transaction but dishonestly refusing to execute the sale deed despite repeated requests. The court determined that the criminal charges involving cheating under the BNS were sufficiently substantiated to warrant proceeding with the investigation, making the accused ineligible for anticipatory bail at this stage.
