The petitioner apprehends arrest in a police case under Sections- 379 and lesser provisions of I.P.C.

The application is rejected. Any application for regular bail on behalf of the petitioner shall be considered by the court below on its own merits, including if the informant has already deposed in the sessions trial in question, without being prejudiced by the present order of rejection.
