Learned counsel for petitioner submitted that though according to prosecution, the petitioner is implicated in the case basing on confession of accused No.1 that with the help of petitioner, the accused No.1 created fabricated documents and occupied property of complainant illegally, the petitioner is innocent of the same and is no way connected to it. He asserted that accused NO.1 was arrested and released on bail. Therefore, while advocating that the petitioner is a law-abiding citizen ready to cooperate with the investigation, he prayed this Court to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner by allowing this criminal petition.
