Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, the submissions made by learned counsel for the parties, the evidence on record, and taking into consideration the fact that there is no cogent evidence to substantiate the allegations levelled against the applicant, and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, prima facie the Court is of the view that the applicant has made out a case for anticipatory bail. Accordingly, the anticipatory bail application is allowed. 7. Let the accused-applicant, Mohammad Anas, be released on anticipatory bail in the aforesaid case crime till the conclusion of the trial on furnishing a personal bond and two sureties each to the satisfaction of the court concerned, subject to the conditions that he shall cooperate with the investigation and trial, shall not tamper with the evidence or influence any witness, shall not leave India without prior permission of the trial court, and in case of breach of any of these conditions, the court concerned shall be at liberty to cancel the anticipatory bail. 8. The observations made herein are confined to the disposal of the present anticipatory bail application and shall not affect the merits of the trial.
