Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the F.I.R. was lodged against one Manoj Kumar Bhoi

// 2 // and during the course of investigation, charge sheet has been submitted against the petitioner and the offences are triable by Magistrate and therefore, the prayer for anticipatory bail may favourably be considered.

Learned counsel for the State opposed the prayer for anticipatory bail and submitted that it is a case of the year 2015.

Considering the submissions made by the learned counsel for the respective parties, while not inclining to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner, it is observed that in the event the petitioner surrenders and moves for bail in the Courts below within a period of four weeks from today the learned Court below shall dispose of the same in accordance with law expeditiously and the claim of parity with the coaccused, who are stated to have been released on bail, shall be taken into account.
