¶17

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is innocent and has been falsely implicated in this case due to dirty village politics. The petitioner was not present at the spot at the time of occurrence. From the F.I.R., it is evident that the name of petitioner and other co-accused persons have been disclosed by the villagers, but none of the villagers is the witness of seizure, rather the seizure list witnesses are the police personnel. The allegation against the petitioner is general and omnibus. Similarly, situated co-accused persons have been granted anticipatory bail by a Co-ordinate Bench of this Court vide order dated 25.04.2022 passed in Criminal Misc. No. 57937 of 2021.

¶18

Learned A.P.P. for the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail submitting that the petitioner is named in the FIR.

¶19

Having regard to the facts and circumstances and submission made on behalf of the parties and considering nature of allegation against the petitioner and grant of anticipatory bail to the similarly situated co-accused persons by a Co-ordinate Bench, let the petitioner, above named, in the event of his arrest or surrender before the Court concerned within a period of eight weeks from today, be released on bail, on furnishing bail bonds
