Heard counsel for the parties and perused the case diary as also the documents filed on record.

From the record, it is apparent that initially when the application for anticipatory bail was filed before the Trial Court, this plea of an agreement having executed by the wife of the applicant in favour of Ashok Menariya was not even taken as the same is also not reflected from the order dated 26/03/2021 passed by the Trial Court and the last bail application filed by the applicant has also been dismissed as withdrawn with liberty to surrender before the Trial Court. In such circumstances, merely filing of an agreement which is backdated one month prior to the date of incident would not entitle the applicant to claim anticipatory bail as the same appears to be an afterthought. Otherwise also, there is enough material available on record to suggest the involvement of the applicant in the offence.
