Heard learned APP and learned counsel for the informant, who has opposed the prayer for anticipatory bail on the ground that petitioner has active role in the crime and as such he does not deserve bail.

Having heard both sides and in the facts and circumstances, I am not inclined to grant privilege of anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

This application is dismissed.
