On search, one bundle of currency notes was recovered, in which blank papers were found between the original currency notes. The apprehended persons disclosed the name of the petitioner, as their associate, who succeeded to flee away from the place of occurrence.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner was not apprehended on the spot, rather, his name has been disclosed by the persons, who are said to be apprehended by the Police personal on the spot. The co-accused, who had been apprehended on the spot, has been granted regular bail by this Court.

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 trail 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.
