I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned State counsel at considerable length and have gone through the record carefully.
7.
The petitioner along with the co-accused is alleged to have snatched cash amount of Rs. 90,678/- and mobile phone belonging to the complainant on 19.07.2024 and the co-accused Dharmpal is alleged to have hatched conspiracy with them. There are serious and specific allegations against the petitioner. For the purpose of conducting proper investigation in the matter as well as for recovery of the snatched money, his custodial interrogation is required. Moreso, it is well settled proposition of law that arrest is a part of procedure of the investigation to secure not only the presence of the accused but several other purposes. The powers of anticipatory bail are extra ordinary and the same are to be exercised sparingly in exceptional circumstances.
The judicial discretion conferred upon the Court has to be properly exercised after application of mind as to the nature and gravity of the accusation, possibility of applicant fleeing from justice and other factors to decide whether it is a fit case for grant of anticipatory bail as such grant to some extent interferes in the sphere of investigation of an offence. The Court must be circumspect while exercising such power for grant of anticipatory bail and it should not be granted as a matter of rule and has to be granted only when the Court is convinced that exceptional circumstances exist to resort to that extra ordinary remedy.
the powers for grant of anticipatory bail by this Court are existing. As such, I am of the considered opinion that the petition does not deserve to be allowed. Accordingly, the same is dismissed.
8.
It is clarified that observations made hereinabove shall not be construed as an expression of opinion on the merits of the case. 9.
Since the main petition has been dismissed, pending application if any is rendered infructuous.
