1.

This matter is taken up through Video Conferencing mode. 2.

Heard learned counsel for both the parties and perused the records.

3.

This is an application under section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure filed by the Petitioner for anticipatory bail. 4.

Considering the nature of allegations, gravity of offence and fact of the case, I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the Petitioner. However, it is directed that in the event the Petitioner surrenders before the learned S.D.J.M., Athagarh in C.T.Case No.52 of 2022 arising out of Athagarh P.S.Case No.25 of 2022, he shall be released on bail on such terms and conditions as the learned S.D.J.M. may deem just and proper with further conditions that the Petitioner shall not enter inside the Excise Office of Athagarh and shall not threaten or influence any officials of that office. Violation of any condition shall entail revocation of the order . 5.

The ABLAPL is accordingly disposed of.
