The learned Sessions Judge, taking into consideration that the dispute between the parties appears to be primarily civil in nature, has granted anticipatory bail to the respondent. The alleged offences are not punishable with death or life imprisonment and the maximum punishment for the alleged offences is imprisonment for a period of seven years. 5. Learned HCGP during the course of arguments, has fairly submitted that petitioner has no other antecedents.
