4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner has been falsely implicated in the instant case by the informant. It is further submitted that during the course of the investigation police gave notice under Section 35(3) BNSS and the petitioner cooperated in the investigation and police never felt the need of arresting the petitioner, it is next submitted that police after investigation submitted charge-sheet but then the charge-sheet was not submitted under section of extortion as would manifest from the pleading made at para 4 of the supplementary affidavit nor the charge-sheet has been submitted under section 109 B.N.S., but then cognizance came to be taken. It is also submitted that when police during the course of investigation never felt the need of arresting the petitioner whether it would be prudent for the Court to send the petitioner to jail based on an order of cognizance, it is further submitted that if the privilege of anticipatory bail is granted to the petitioner, the petitioner will not abscond rather will cooperate in the trial to prove his innocence.
5. Learned A.P.P. for the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner.
