5. Considering that there is general and omnibus allegation of pelting stones upon the police force and the petitioner is not named in the FIR and what has been argued by the learned counsel for the petitioner with regard to motorcycle, in such a situation, that cannot be ruled out, and in the attending facts and circumstances of the present case, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to petitioner.
