2/3

It is submitted by learned counsel for the appellant

that the appellant has no concern with the aforesaid occurrence.

Appellant has been falsely implicated in the case by the

informant due to ulterior motive. The allegation of slating the

informant levelled against the appellant is not specific rather

general and omnibus in nature. Learned lower court after

perusing the case diary and observing that the allegation of

offence under Section 354 IPC was not favoured by the police

and none of the witnesses has corroborated the allegation of

abuse by caste name at the hand of the accused persons has

enlarged co-accused Anwari Khatoon and Meraj on anticipatory

bail. Appellant has no criminal antecedent.

Learned Spl. PP for the State opposed the prayer for

bail.

Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the

case, let the above named appellant, be released on bail, in the

event of his arrest or surrender before the learned Court below

within a period of six weeks from today, on furnishing bail bond

of Rs. 10,000/- (Ten thousand) with two sureties of the like

amount each to the satisfaction of the learned 1st Addl. Sessions
