Heard learned A.P.P. also.
Having heard both sides, in view of the allegation and criminal antecedent as discussed above, I am not inclined to grant privilege of anticipatory bail to the petitioner, however, the petitioner is directed to surrender before the learned Court below and make prayer for regular bail which shall be considered on the basis of material available on record without being prejudice by this order and pass an order in accordance with law.
With the aforesaid, this application is dismissed.
