Learned State counsel has opposed the prayer for anticipatory bail on the ground that custodial interrogation of the petitioner is necessary. 4. Keeping in view the facts and circumstances of the present case, particularly the fact that the petitioner was not named in the FIR and has been implicated only on the basis of the disclosure statement of a co-accused, with no specific role attributed to him, this Court deems it appropriate to grant the concession of anticipatory bail to the petitioner as matter against him can be investigated without resorting to custody. 5. Accordingly, in the event of arrest, the petitioner shall be released on anticipatory bail on furnishing bail bonds in the sum of Rs.50,000/- with one surety in the like amount to the satisfaction of the concerned SHO/Investigating Officer. The petitioner shall join the investigation as and when called upon to do so and shall abide by the conditions envisaged under Section 482(2) of the BNSS. 6. Present petition is disposed of in the above terms. 7.
