O R D E R This petition is for anticipatory bail. 2. The alleged offences are under Sections 143, 147, 148, 448, 452, 427 and 506(i) read with Section 149 of the Indian Penal Code. According to prosecution, 8th accused along with other accused, formed into an unlawful assembly and armed with iron rod and axe trespassed into a library and destroyed the library books and the articles there, after breaking open the door and thereby committed various offences. A loss to the tune of Rs.70,400/- was caused. 3. Learned counsel for petitioner submitted that petitioner was implicated due to political animosity. Petitioner is not involved in any other offence and the only non-bailable offence is under Section 452 of the Indian Penal Code. No injury is caused to any person and hence, he may be granted anticipatory bail, it is submitted. It is also submitted that petitioner is prepared to abide by any stringent condition. BA NO.3404/10 2 4. This petition is strongly opposed. Learned Public Prosecutor submitted that petitioner is involved in the offences and his name is stated in the F.I. statement itself. Considering the nature of the allegations made and having trespassed into the library and committed the various offences, this is not a fit case to grant anticipatory bail, it is submitted. 5. On hearing both sides, I am not persuaded by any of the submissions made by the learned counsel to grant anticipatory bail. No exceptional circumstances are made out to invoke the jurisdiction under Section 438 of the Criminal Procedure Code. Petition is dismissed. K.HEMA, JUDGE. tgs
