It is submitted by the learned counsel for the Petitioner that the Petitioner has not been named in the F.I.R. and the Petitioner has no knowledge about the present crime. The present case has been foisted against the Petitioner due to political rivalry. 5.

Considering the age of the Petitioner, the nature of allegations made, gravity of the offence and the 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
