UPADHYAY For the Petitioner : Mr. Nilesh Kumar, Advocate. For the State: : APP. 17.09.2012 Heard learned counsel for the parties. The petitioner is accused in connection with Kotwali P.S. Case No. 352/2012 [G.R. No. 1797/2012], registered under Sections 467, 468, 470, 471, 419, 420, 120B of the Indian Penal Code. It reveals from the F.I.R. that after receiving secret information, the Police raided photocopy shop situated near Civil Court campus, Ranchi and fake seals, Identity Card, Election Identitiy Card, Income Tax Cards, Driving Licence, Birth Certificate, R.C. Book, computer set, fitness certificate, caste certificate, some other fitness certificates etc. were recovered from there. Petitioner is the owner of alleged shop. It is submitted that the petitioner was not present in his shop on the date of search and seizure and he has furnished railway tickets also. Other co- accused having similar allegations, have been enlarged on regular bail by a Bench of this Court. Learned counsel for the State has opposed the prayer for anticipatory bail of he petitioner. Considering the allegations levelled against the petitioner, I do not feel inclined to consider the anticipatory bail under Section 438 Cr.P.C. Accordingly, the same is dismissed. However, the petitioner is directed to surrender before the Court below within a period of four weeks from today for seeking regular bail which shall be considered on its own merits in view of the earlier orders in which co-accused have been granted regular bail and the materials available on record, without being prejudiced by this order.
