The First Anticipatory Bail Application has been filed with regard to Case Crime No.414 of 2024, under Sections 318(4), 319(2), 336, 338 of B.N.S. 2023 & Section 163 of the Railways Act, 1989, Police Station G.R.P. Charbagh, District Lucknow. 3. Contention of learned counsel for applicant is that the applicant is innocent and he has been falsely implicated in the present case. He submits that the applicant was not arrested on spot and only on the basis of confessional statement of co- accused Mohd. Iliyas, name of the present applicant has been implicated in the present case. He added that there is no documentary evidence against the applicant that the article, i.e., oxytocin injections have been recovered from the possession of the applicant. He further submits that the applicant is undertaking that he will co- operate with the investigating proceedings and he will remain present before the Investigating Officer as and when required. He further submits that the applicant has no previous criminal history and he is a law abiding citizen and he has acute apprehension of being arrested by the police, as such, he may be granted anticipatory bail which he will not misuse. 4. On the other hand, learned AGA appearing for the State has opposed the contentions aforesaid and submitted that there is sufficient proof that the applicant has committed the offence, as such, he is not entitled to any relief. 5. Considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances of the case and after perusal of the record, this Court find it to be a fit case of interim anticipatory bail. 6. Thus, in view of law laid down by Hon'ble the Supreme Court in Sushila Aggarwal and others versus State (NCT of Delhi) and another (2020)5 SCC 1, it would be appropriate to grant anticipatory bail to applicant under Section 438 Cr.P.C./482 BNSS. 7.
