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

It is submitted by the learned counsel for the Petitioner that due to political rivalry the Petitioner has been implicated in the present case. He further submits that the Petitioner has no criminal antecedent of similar nature.
