1. The applicant has preferred this bail application under Section 438 of Cr.P.C. apprehending his arrest in connection with Crime No.204/2018 registered at Police Station- Pusour, District - Raigarh(C.G.), for the offence punishable under Sections 294, 506 & 452 of the Indian Penal Code (for short 'IPC').

2. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that applicant is innocent and has been falsely implicated in this case. Out of the offence registered against this applicant, only Section 452 of IPC is nonbailable, which is not a main offence. No case is made out against him according to the evidence present in the case diary. Hence, it is prayed that he may be released on anticipatory bail.
