3 On the other hand, the learned APP appearing on behalf of the 

respondent­State has opposed this application for grant of anticipatory 
bail to the applicant looking to the nature and gravity of the offence.

4 I have heard the learned advocates appearing for the respective 
parties,   perused   the   investigation   papers   and   have   also   taken   into 
consideration   the   facts   of   the   case,   nature   of   the   allegations,   role 
attributed to the applicant­accused, and without discussing the evidence 
in detail, at this stage, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the 
applicant. 

5 This Court has also taken into consideration the law laid down by 
the Hon’ble Apex Court in the case of  Siddharam Satlingappa Mhetre 
vs. State of Maharashtra and Others, reported in [2011] 1 SCC 6941, 
wherein   the  Hon’ble   Apex  Court  reiterated  the   law  laid  down  by  the 
Constitutional   Bench   in   the   case   of  Shri   Gurubaksh  Singh  Sibbia    
Others, reported in (1980) 2 SCC 665.

6 The learned advocate for the applicant, on instructions, states that 
the   applicant   is   ready   and   willing   to   abide   by   all   the   conditions, 
including   impositions   of   conditions   with   regard   to   the   powers   of   the 
Investigating Agency to file an application before the competent court 
for   his   remand.   He   would   further   submit   that   upon   filing   of   such 
application   by   the   Investigating   Agency,   the   right   of   the   applicant­
accused to oppose such application on merits may be kept open.

7 In the result, the present application is allowed by directing that in 
the event of arrest of the applicant herein in connection with the First 
Information Report being being C.R. No.I­320 of 2017 registered with 
the Krishnanagar Police Station, District: Ahmedabad,  the  applicant
