… … for the petitioner

… … for the State

It is submitted on behalf of the petitioner that co-accused personshave been granted pre-arrest bail.

Learned counsel appearing for the State opposes the prayer foranticipatory bail.

Having considered the materials on record and bearing in mind thenature of allegations and as co-accused persons have been grantedanticipatory bail, we are inclined to extend the same privilege to thepetitioner.

Accordingly, we direct in the event of arrest the petitioner shall bereleased on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs. 10,000/- (Rupees tenthousand only), with two sureties of like amount each, to the satisfaction ofthe arresting officer and subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 and on furthercondition that the petitioner shall appear before the Court below and prayfor regular bail within four weeks from date.

This application for anticipatory bail is, thus, allowed.
