Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant is innocent and he has been falsely implicated in the present case. He would submit that co-accused has shown the Bar Code in which they have transferred the money and in the FIR, name of the present applicant has not been mentioned, investigation and trial are likely to take time, therefore, he submits that the present applicant is entitled to be released on anticipatory bail. 4. On the other hand, learned State counsel opposes the prayer for grant of anticipatory bail and submits that applicant along with three other accused persons involved in the present case and they introduced themselves as Mining Officers and taken money from drivers of the truck and other vehicles which were passing on the road, therefore he is not entitled for grant of anticipatory bail. 5.

Considering the facts & circumstances of the case, gravity of offence, also looking to the fact that applicant along with three other co-accused persons involved in the present case and they introduced themselves as Mining Officers and taken money from drivers of the truck and other vehicles which were passing on the road, as such, I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the applicants. 7.
