Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Additional Standing Counsel for the State.

This is an application under Section 438, Cr.P.C. filed by the petitioner for anticipatory bail.

4.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the present petitioner has been falsely implicated in this case and he was not involved in the present case. Further, he submits that there was an election dispute. Hence, the presence case.
