04. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner is innocent and has been falsely implicated in this case. The FIR was lodged against two unknown persons who were riding a motorcycle and who snatched the bag but a number of persons have been made accused in this case. Recovery of Rs. 1,12,000/- has been shown from the house of the petitioner but the said money belongs to the petitioner and it was not looted money. The petitioner has been made accused in this case merely on suspicion. The petitioner is having clean antecedent.

05. Learned A.P.P. for the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail. Learned APP submits that recovery of looted money of Rs. 1,12,000/- bearing stamp of SBI P.B.B. was made from the house of the petitioner. Further recovery of Rs. 2,50,000/- was made from one of the co-accused persons.

06. Having regard to the facts and circumstances and nature of allegation, I do not think it is a fit case for grant of anticipatory bail and hence, the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner is rejected.
