The offence related to illegal escape of a renowned criminal from judicial custody after causing gun shot injury to a police personnel in court campus. It is contended that the petitioner is not named in the first information report and his name transpired in course of investigation. Having considered the serious nature of allegation in which name of the petitioner transpired, in confessional statement of a co-accused, as a person who conspired with other accused persons in committing the crime, I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.
