JUDGMENT 1. The present application for anticipatory bail has been filed by the petitioner apprehending his arrest in connection with F.I.R. No.334/2018, Police Station Rajgarh, District Churu for the offences under Sections 420, 388, 506 & 120-B of IPC. 2. Heard learned counsels for the parties. Perused the material available on record. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the present petitioner is not saddled with the liability as fastened against the main accused Veena @ Sajan. He further submits that all the offences except under Section 420 I.P.C. are bailable. 4. Per contra, learned Public Prosecutor & learned counsel for the complainant have vehemently opposed the bail application. They submit that there are serious allegations of threatening to pay Rs. 55,00,000/- (Rupees: Fifty Five Lac Only) against the present petitioner and other co-accused. The allegation against the present petitioner is of serious nature. 5. Having regard to the totality of the facts and circumstances of the case and looking to the nature of accusation and gravity of the offence, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail under Section 438 Cr.P.C. to the petitioner. 6. Accordingly, the present bail application preferred by the petitioner under Section 438 Cr.P.C. is dismissed.
