// 2 // Considering the submissions made by the learned counsel for the petitioner that the offences are triable by Magistrate and further taking into account the delay in lodging the first information report and the dispute between the informant and other coaccused persons was for the payment of money and the petitioner being a mediator to the said dispute has been falsely entangled in the case and after hearing the learned counsel for the State, I am inclined to release the petitioner on anticipatory bail and accordingly, this Court directs that in the event of arrest of the petitioner in connection with the aforesaid case, he shall be released on anticipatory bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.

10,000/- (Rupees ten thousand) with two sureties each for the like amount to the satisfaction of the arresting officer with further conditions that he shall make himself available for interrogation by the I.O. as and when required and he shall not directly or indirectly make any inducement, threat or promise to any person acquainted with the facts of the case so as to dissuade him from disclosing any facts to the Courts or to the Investigating Officer.
