Considering the submissions of both the sides. There is clear version in the F.I.R. that the accused applicant and other coaccused persons formulated the said company and encouraging the informant to become an agent who got money of several persons deposited, thereafter accused persons grab the money. It appears to be a very serious matter. The applicant has a recourse of regular bail before the appropriate forum and the ground taken in the anticipatory bail will be good ground, but in seeking anticipatory bail some thing more is required. It is pertinent to mention that the anticipatory bail is not a substitute of a regular bail and for it, some extraordinary circumstances are required in comparison to regular bail. There should be some special reason for taking recourse of the provisions of anticipatory bail. There must also be a threat of arrest of the accused. But in this case F.I.R. has been lodged in November, 2019 and there is nothing on record to show that police has made any serious effort to arrest the applicant. The applicant has not been able to show any real threat of arrest or any extraordinary circumstances, as such, I do not find any ground for giving benefit of anticipatory bail, hence the anticipatory bail application filed by the applicant is rejected.
