It has been stated that in case, the applicant is granted anticipatory bail, he shall not misuse the liberty of bail and will co- operate with the investigation and would obey all conditions of bail. 4. Learned A.G.A. opposed the application for anticipatory bail. 5. This Court vide order dated 19.11.2024 has observed that in the month of May, 2023, non-bailable-warrant was issued against the applicant however learned counhsel for the applicant had stated that the conduct of the applicant has not been explained in the anticipat ory bail application and had sought time to explain the conduct of the applicant but till date no explanation has been submitted by the applicant's counsel. 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. 6. 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, without expressing any opinion on merit of the case, no case for anticipatory bail is made out. 7. The anticipatory bail application is rejected. Order Date :- 7.7.2025 AS Digitally signed by :- ABHISHEK SINGH High Court of Judicature at Allahabad
