ORDER Petition for anticipatory bail. 2. According to learned counsel for the petitioner , petitioner is a law graduate. He had been practicing for some time. Thereafter, he was doing business in export of sea foods and real estate. He is also an Astrologer and he belongs to the family of Astrologers. He is having agricultural properties as ancestral properties. He also purchased properties. He is an income-tax payee. But, recently, the police has come in search of him and he was directed to go to office of the Assistant Commissioner of Police, Special Branch. On inquiry, it is understood that some anonymous letter is received by police, making some allegations which do not constitute any offence. Hence, anticipatory bail may be granted to the petitioner failing which it is likely that he will be harassed, it is submitted. 3. Learned Public Prosecutor submitted that police has no intention to arrest petitioner. He is required for bona fide reasons for [B.A.No.5721/08] 2 an inquiry being conducted into very serious allegations made as per an anonymous letter stating that he has amassed huge amount of money running to crores, within a short span of time. Petitioner is also known as 'Swami' and his original name is Rajesh Kannan and not the name shown in the petition, it is submitted. The police has no intention to harass him but he is required for the purpose of enquiry into the serious allegations made. It is also submitted that no crime is registered against the petitioner and hence there is no intention to arrest him. These submissions are recorded. In the light of the submissions, I find that there is no apprehension of arrest and hence no ground exists to grant anticipatory bail. This petition is disposed of accordingly. K. HEMA, JUDGE. Krs.
