The complainant - Parmananda Sangatmal Choda lodged an FIR on 17.10.2008 stating that the applicant demanded Rs.10,000/- to 12,000/- from each stall owner when they made an attempt to instal their stalls on the road at Sidhu Market.

Looking to the nature of the complaint and overall facts and circumtances of the case I am inclined to grant this application for anticipatory bail. Hence the following order: . In the event of arrest, the applicant to be released on bail in the sum of Rs.25,000/- with one or two sureties to make up the said amount subject to condition that the applicant shall report to the concerned police station on every Wednesday and Saturday between 7 and 8 pm for a period of one month and thereafter on every alternate Saturday between 7 and 8 pm for a period of 90 days from today or till filing of the charge sheet, whichever is earlier.
