Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation is false and petitioner is always willing to keep the informant with due care and affection. Having considered the fact of the case, this Court is not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. His prayer for grant of anticipatory bail is rejected.

This Court further observes that in case, the informant appears and states that she is still ready to stay with the petitioner then in that circumstance, the learned Magistrate would consider the - 2 - bail application sympathetically. With the aforesaid observation, this application is disposed of. Uday/ (Samarendra Pratap Singh, J.)
