Cr. Misc. No.M-41947 of 2014 [2] learned Deputy Advocate General, Punjab appearing for the respondentState and learned counsel appearing on behalf of respondent No.2 and have gone through the record.

The allegations against the petitioner are that he along with other abetted Sangram Singh alias Rinku to commit suicide by hanging by way of harassing him levelling false allegations of theft. The present petitioner is named in the FIR as well as in the suicide note. The suicide note is detailed one giving the circumstances for leading to suicide as well as the harassment caused by the present petitioner along with co-accused. Keeping in view the nature and gravity of the offences and the fact that the petitioner is required for custodial interrogation, I do not find it to be a fit case where the present petitioner is entitled to the benefit of anticipatory bail. Hence, no ground for grant of anticipatory bail is made out.

Therefore, finding no merit in this petition, the same is dismissed.
