This is an application under Section 438, Cr.P.C. filed by the Petitioner for anticipatory bail, involving offence punishable under Sections 341/294/324/307/506, I.P.C.

4.

Considering the seriousness of the allegation, gravity of the offence and the facts of the case, although I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the Petitioner, however it is observed that, in the event the Petitioner surrenders and moves for bail before the learned J.M.F.C., Daspalla in G.R. Case No.234 of 2022 corresponding to Daspalla P.S. Case No.130 of 2022 within a period of three weeks from today, he shall be released on bail on such terms and conditions as the learned Magistrate may deem just and proper in the facts and circumstances of the case, but subject to verification of criminal

// 2 // antecedents of the Petitioner as well as the Injury Report. In the event it is found that there is more than one criminal antecedent of similar nature against the Petitioner, then this bail order shall stand automatically revoked. Similarly, if the injuries caused to the injured victim are found to be grievous in nature, then also this bail order shall stand automatically revoked.
