Learned Counsel for the petitioner submits there was an accident in the locality. Police remained inactive. As a result local people agitated. He has been falsely implicated. Accordingly, he prays for anticipatory bail.

2.

Learned Counsel for the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail and submits police personnel suffered injuries. Police vehicles were burnt.

3. We have considered the materials on record. It is submitted local people agitated against police inaction over a road accident. No specific overt act is attributed to the petitioner. Injuries do not appear to be grievous. Under such circumstances we are inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.
