Considering the aforesaid submissions this application for anticipatory bail is disposed of with an observation that if the petitioner surrenders within six weeks then the court below shall examine the record and if it is - 2 - found that petitioner is merely a deed writer without any specific allegation other than of general conspiracy, then his prayer for bail should be considered on merits on the date of surrender itself.
