Since it is a complaint case and summons have been issued to the petitioner and there is no apprehension of arrest, I am not inclined to release the petitioner on anticipatory bail.

However, in case the petitioner appear in the learned Court below and moves for bail, the same shall be disposed of expeditiously in accordance with law and if any co-accused has been released on bail in the meantime, the claim of parity shall be taken into account.
