Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant was not named in the first informant report and has been falsely implicated in the instant case. The name of the applicant was disclosed by co-accused Vijay Nishad in police custody. The said statement, insofar as it implicates the applicant, is unreliable. At this stage, there is no credible evidence to link the applicant with the offence. The criminal history of the applicant has been explained in para 19 of the affidavit. It is next submitted that the investigation is pending and the applicant has apprehension of his arrest in the above mentioned case. 5. Learned AGA opposed the prayer for anticipatory bail but could not satisfactorily dispute the aforesaid submissions from the record. 6. Learned counsel for the applicant further submits that the application for grant of anticipatory bail be confined only till the submission of police report. 7. Having regard to the submissions made by learned counsel for the applicant, considering the nature of accusations and antecedents of the applicant, in particular the fact, that the applicant was not named in the first informant report, the name of the applicant was disclosed by co-accused Vijay Nishad in police custody, at this stage, there is no substantive evidence to link the applicant with the offence, without commenting on merits of the case, I am of the opinion that the applicant is entitled to be enlarged on anticipatory bail till the submission of police report. 8. 8. In the event of arrest, the applicant- Rojid Ansari be released on anticipatory bail in the aforesaid case crime till the submission of police report, if any, under Section 193 (3) BNSS, on furnishing a personal bond of Rs. 50,000/- with two sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of the Station House Officer of the police station concerned with the following conditions:- (i) The applicant shall make himself available for interrogation by a police officer as and when required; (ii) The applicant shall not, directly or indirectly, make any inducement, threat or promise to any person acquainted with the facts of the case so as to dissuade him from disclosing such facts to the Court or to any police officer; (iii) The applicant shall not leave India without the previous permission of the Court and if he has passport, the same shall be deposited by him before the S.S.P./S.P. concerned. 9.
