Heard learned counsel for the Petitioner and the learned Additional Standing Counsel. Perused the records. 3.

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

4.

It is submitted by the learned counsel for the Petitioner that the Petitioner is the owner of the offending vehicles and no way connected with the alleged offence but with an oblique motive this false case has been filed against the Petitioner without rhyme and reason. It is also submitted by the learned counsel for the Petitioner that nothing has been seized from the conscious possession of the Petitioner.

5.

Considering 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 S.D.J.M., Khordha
