Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that, in fact, petitioner had gone to purchase the sand at the Sand Ghat, where hot talk exchanged regarding the price of sand but informant with ulterior motive lodged the present case with false allegation. Further submission is that while petitioner is accused in four other cases but in all cases, he is on bail except Nagar P.S.

Having considered the facts and circumstances of the case and the nature of allegation against the petitioner, I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, his prayer for grant of anticipatory bail stands rejected. The petitioner is directed to surrender before the trial court within four weeks and pray for regular bail, which would be considered by the trial court in accordance with law without being prejudiced by the order of this Court.
