Learned A.G.A. has opposed the application for anticipatory bail and submitted that there is active participation of applicant in the commission of offence, therefore, the applicant may not be granted any indulgence at this stage. 6. It may be stated that in case of Siddharam Satlingappa Mhetre v. State of Maharashtra, (2011) 1 SCC 694, it has been held by Hon'ble Supreme Court that while deciding anticipatory bail, Court must consider nature and gravity of accusation, antecedent of accused, possibility of accused to flee from justice and that Court must evaluate entire available material against the accused carefully and that the exact role of the accused has also to be taken into consideration. 7. In the instant case, considering the settled principle of law regarding anticipatory bail, submissions of the learned counsel for the parties, nature of accusation, role of applicant and all attending facts and circumstances of the case and considering the fact that the charge sheet has been filed against the applicant, whereupon court concerned took cognizance and summoned the applicant to face the trial, without expressing any opinion on merit of the case, no case for anticipatory bail is made out. 8.
