On 19.06.2011 between 14.00 to 21.00 hrs. at Anjangaon Road, Urdu High School, Akbari Plot, Akot, there was rioting involving two communities namely Hindu community and Muslim community upon a issue of dash of Motorcycle. Police authorities had rushed to the spot of incident in order to perform their public duty and in order to disperse the crowd, they resorted to lathi-charge, tear gas as well as five rounds of firing in 2 air. However, the parties of both the communities were armed with swords, sticks, iron-pipe, iron rod etc. and they were throwing stones at each other and the house of one Muslim person was set ablaze. It is seen from the record the name of the applicant is taken as one of the persons instigating the people of Hindu community. It is stated in the reply filed by the non- applicant that the present applicant is influential person and is a terror in society and was provoking the persons of Hindu community people. It is reported that several persons from both the communities were arrested and after P.C.R. they were released on bail. In my view, this is not a case fit for grant of anticipatory bail. Hence, the application is rejected. JUDGE NSN
