Apprehending arrest at the hands of the respondent police for alleged offences punishable under Sections 341, 294(b), 392 and 506(ii) IPC in Crime No.835 of 2016 on the file of the respondent police, the petitioner has come forward with this petition seeking anticipatory bail.

2. The case of the prosecution is that the petitioner snatched a sum of Rs.100/- from the defacto complainant at knife point and threatened him with dire consequences.

3. The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that earlier the petitioner was detained under Act IV of 1982 and the same was revoked by this Court in H.C.P.No.2632 of 2015 on 28.03.2016. Subsequent to the orders of this Court, the petitioner was released on bail on 29.03.2016. Thereafter, the petitioner was arrested in Crime No.835 of 2015. It is pertinent to note that in the detention Order, it has been mentioned that the petitioner has been arrested in the case in Crime No.835 of 2015. But till date, the petitioner has not been arrested in this case. Hence, the petitioner may be granted anticipatory bail.
