1.

This matter is taken up through Hybrid Arrangement (Virtual /Physical Mode).

2.

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 vehicle and two other persons involved in the alleged offence with the vehicle, which belongs to the Petitioner. It is further submitted by the learned counsel for the Petitioner that the Petitioner has not been named in the F.I.R. It is contended that the Petitioner was not involved in similar nature of offence earlier, but the Petitioner has only one criminal antecedent involving an offence under section 447/34 of the Indian Penal Code. 5.

Considering the nature of allegations made, gravity of the

// 2 // 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 J.M.F.C., Chandikhol in C.T.Case No.1150 of 2022 arising out of Jenapur P.S.Case No.196 of 2022 within a period of three weeks from today and moves for bail, he shall be released on bail on such terms and conditions as would be deemed just and proper by the learned Magistrate and subject to verification of criminal antecedent of similar nature against the Petitioner.

Accordingly, the ABLAPL is disposed of.

Urgent certified copy of this order be granted on proper application.
