mediation failed.

¶17

Submission of learned counsel for the petitioner is that he has falsely been implicated and there is no such demand by the petitioner. On the other hand, learned counsel for opposite party No.2 has opposed the prayer for anticipatory bail on the ground that petitioner subjected the informant to cruelty and torture with respect to demand and petitioner is not ready for one time settlement.

¶18

Heard learned APP also.

¶19

In view of above facts and circumstances, I am not inclined to grant the privilege of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Hence this application is dismissed.

¶20

However, it is open to the petitioner to appear before the court below with opposite party No.2 with a prayer that he is ready to keep the informant with him with dignity and care, which shall be considered by the court below while considering the bail application of the petitioner.
