 "The present petition has been filed under Section 438 Cr.P.C. for the grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner in respect of FIR No.703 dated 09.11.2021 registered under Section 07 of the Essential Commodities Act, 1955 at Police Station Azad Nagar, District Hisar.

Learned counsel for the petitioner argues that though, in the present FIR, it is alleged that 55 cylinders have been recovered from the premises, which is owned by the petitioner hence, the petitioner has violated the provisions of the Essential Commodities Act, 1955, but the said recovery has not

+ been effected in the presence of the petitioner and the allegations are yet to be proved during the course of trial. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that as nothing is to be recovered from the petitioner and he is ready to join and cooperate in investigation, he may kindly be extended the benefit of anticipatory bail.

Notice of motion for 09.02.2022.

Mr. Gaurav Bansal, AAG, Haryana, who is present in the Court accepts notice on behalf of respondent7State. Learned State counsel submits that the petitioner is a habitual offender and on an earlier occasion also, the same act has been attributed to the petitioner, for which, FIR No.104 dated 24.02.2021 under Section 07 of the Essential Commodities Act, 1955 was registered against him and in case, the petitioner is granted the benefit of anticipatory bail, he will again indulge in these kind of activities.

I have heard learned counsel for the parties and have gone through the record with their able assistance. Once, the allegations alleged against the petitioner are yet to be proved during the course of the trial and the recovery of cylinders was not done in the presence of the petitioner and it has not been brought into the notice of this Court that anything is to be recovered from the petitioner, keeping in view the allegations alleged against him in the FIR, the purpose of investigation will be achieved, in case, the petitioner is directed to join and cooperate in investigation hence, the petitioner has made out a case for the grant of benefit of anticipatory bail.

The petitioner is directed to join the investigation forthwith. In the event of his arrest, he shall be released on interim bail to the satisfaction of the Arresting Officer/Investigating Officer on his furnishing bail bonds/surety bonds to the satisfaction of the Arresting Officer/Investigating Officer subject to the following conditions:7
