4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner has been falsely implicated in the instant case by the informant. It is further submitted that Babish Kumar and Dinesh Tanti were apprehended but then they did not disclose the name of the petitioner, rather the name of the petitioner was disclosed at the instance of the Chawkidar. It is next submitted that no doubt, petitioner has antecedent of nine cases but then the nature of allegation as alleged in the FIR is also to be appreciated. It is also submitted that it does not appear probable that the Chawkidar with such precision could have named 18 accused persons. It is further submitted that once an accused is implicated in criminal cases, the police start implicating mechanically without holding a proper investigation of the case. It is next submitted that petitioner will not abscond rather will cooperate in the investigation to prove his innocence.
5. Learned A.P.P. for the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner.
6. Considering the submissions made by the learned counsel for the petitioner, the petitioner above-named, in the event of his arrest or surrender within a period of six weeks from today, be released on anticipatory bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs.25,000/- (Rupees Twenty Five Thousand) with two

7. One of the bailors of the petitioner shall be his nephew, namely, Ritu Raj Kumar.
8. However, it is made clear that if the Investigating Officer of the case files an application before the learned trial court bringing to its notice that petitioner despite giving assurance to this Court is not cooperating in the investigation in that event the learned trial court shall be at liberty to cancel the bail bonds of the petitioner.
