The petitioner prays for pre-arrest bail on the ground that the petitioner has been falsely implicated. He had no involvement in the incident. The learned advocate for the State opposes such prayer. Considering the contents of the complaint, the nature of the allegation, the role ascribed to the petitioner and the fact that the petitioner has criminal antecedents, this court is not inclined to allow the prayer for anticipatory bail. The application for anticipatory bail is, thus, dismissed. All parties shall act on the server copies of this order duly downloaded from the official website of this Court. (Shampa Sarkar, J.)
