2   10-02-2026                  1. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the

                   learned APP for the State.

                                2. The petitioner apprehends his arrest in a case

                   registered for the offences u/s 341, 323, 307, 379, 504 and 34 of

                   I.P.C.

                                3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the

                   petitioner is a person with clean antecedent and informant

                   alleges that on 10.07.2022 at about 8.00 hrs, while he was going

                   to his house from the market along with his wife then on the

                   way the accused persons including the petitioner intercepted

                   them and demanded extortion of Rs.10,000/- from his wife, on

                   objection, it is alleged that accused persons dashed the

                   informant on ground and assaulted by an iron rod causing injury

          wife.

                       4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that

          petitioner has been falsely implicated in the instant case by the

          informant. It is next submitted that it does not appear probable

          that in a market place, the occurrence of the nature, as alleged,

          would have taken place. It is also submitted that Kranti Singh

          had given loan to the informant and when he demanded his

          money back, the present false case came to be instituted but then

          it is fairly submitted that an altercation had taken place, in

          which, both side assaulted each other. It is also submitted that

          police during the course of investigation had given notice under

          Section 41(A) of Cr.P.C. to the petitioner and petitioner

          cooperated in the investigation, thus the police never felt the

          need of arresting the petitioner but then charge sheet came to be

          submitted, as such petitioner apprehends his arrest. It is next

          submitted that when police during the course of investigation

          never felt the need of arresting the petitioner, whether it would

          be prudent for the Court to send the petitioner based on an order

          of cognizance which came to be taken based on the charge sheet

          submitted by the police.

                       5. Learned A.P.P. for the State opposes the prayer for

          anticipatory bail of the petitioner.

                                    6. Considering the submissions made by the learned

                       counsel for the petitioner, the petitioner above-named, in the

                       event of his arrest or surrender within a period of six weeks

                       from today, be released on anticipatory bail on furnishing bail
