2. This anticipatory bail application has been filed by the petitioner apprehending his arrest in connection with FIR No.39/2021, registered at Police Station Panchodi, District Nagaur for the offence under Section 304 of the IPC.

3. The contention of counsel Shri Mohd. Akbar representing the petitioner is that even if the allegations levelled by the complainant in the FIR are accepted to be true on the face of record, the offence, if any, would not travel beyond Section 304-A IPC which is bailable.
