Considering that the other co-accused persons have already been granted anticipatory bail in the aforementioned A.B.A. and even one Sunny Kumar has also been granted anticipatory bail and further having the criminal antecedent is not the sole criteria of allowing or rejecting the regular bail or anticipatory bail, in that view of the matter, the petitioner, named above, is directed to surrender before the learned Court within two weeks from today and the learned Court shall release the petitioner on such terms and conditions or the sureties as the learned Court may deem fit and proper.
