JUDGMENT 1. - Heard learned counsel for the applicant as well as the learned Public Prosecutor and also perused the documents on record. 2. Mr. Gehlot points out that the other two accused have been granted anticipatory bail by this Court vide order dated 9.11.1998 and the case of the applicant is at par with their case. He further points out that at the time the police had intended to arrest the applicant he was not in India as he had already gone a broad on 16.1.1998. His contention is that on his return from foreign country on 3.11.1999, he came to know that he was wanted in the case, and, therefore, he moved an application for anticipatory bail in The trial Court on 4.11.1999, which was dismissed on 10.11.1999. 3. It is noticed that the occurrence took place in the year 1990, which was investigated by the CID (CB), and only in 1998 it was decided to arrest the applicant and file challan against him. It is further noticed that the applicant could not be arrested as he was not in the country, and therefore, challan was filed against him under section 299, Cr.P.C. 4. Having considered the entire material on record and having gone through the passport of the applicant, I feel inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the applicant. 5. The SHO/AO/10 of Police Station Rajgrah FIR No. 118/96 is, therefore, directed that in the event of arrest of applicant-Sunder Ram he be released on bail provided he furnishes a personal bond in the sum of Rs. 20,000/- (Rupees twenty thousand) together with two sureties in The sum of Rs. 10,000/- (Rupees Ten thousand) each, to his satisfaction on the following conditions : (1) that the accused-applicant shall make himself available for inter-rogation by a police officer as and when required, (2) that the applicant shall not directly or indirectly make any inducement threat or promise to any person acquainted with the facts of the case, so as to dissuade him from disclosing such facts to the Court, or to any other police officer, and (3) that the applicant shall not leave India without previous permission of the Court. 6.
