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 allegation made by the informant is false, fabricated only to harass the Petitioner. He also submits that the F.I.R. story does not make out a prima facie case under section 379 of the Indian Penal Code. 5.

Considering the nature of allegations made, gravity of the offence and the facts 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., Daspalla
