Learned Advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that initially, the police submitted a final report. Thereafter, on an exception petition, the police was directed to conduct further investigation.

Considering the gravity of offence and the involvement of the petitioner therein and considering the fact that the police initially submitted a final report, we deem it appropriate to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

Accordingly, we direct that in the event of arrest, the petitioner shall be released on bail upon furnishing a Bond of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand Only) with two sureties of like amount each, to the satisfaction of the Arresting Officer and subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 and on condition that the petitioner will report before the Investigating Officer once in a fortnight till the conclusion of the investigation and on condition

that the petitioner shall appear every day before the jurisdictional Court on and from the date fixed for appearance of the accused and in default the jurisdictional Court will pass appropriate order to secure the presence of the petitioner in Court including cancelling the anticipatory bail granted without further reference to this Court.

Accordingly, the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner is allowed.
