The petitioner herein seeks anticipatory bail in Crime No.696 of 2023 registered by the respondent Police for the offences under Sections 294(b), 323, 324 and 506(ii) IPC.

2.The learned counsel for the petitioner stated that he has been falsely implicated as an accused in this case. Apprehending arrest from the respondent police, he seeks bail to the petitioner.

On such deposit, the learned Magistrate may hand over the amount to the defacto complainant.
