(2.) IT is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner No. 2 that there is no iota of allegation to make out a case under Sections 406/420/120 -B of the Indian Penal Code against the petitioner No. 2, Neeraj Singh, who was a minor boy aged about 14 years on the alleged date of occurrence, when it is alleged by the complainant that he gave friendly loan of Rs. 5 lakhs to the main accused Heera Singh.

(3.) ON the other hand, learned counsel for the State has submitted that a prima facie case is made out against the accused - petitioner No. 2, Niraj Singh as such the learned trial Court rightly refused the prayer of discharge filed by him. Since as per the judgment relied by the petitioner, it is stated that even when there is a strong suspicion is made out then also charges can be framed.
