JUDGMENT

Vinit Kumar Mathur, J. - Lawyers are not physically appearing in the Court in view of the unprecedented situation being faced by the country due to pandemic of novel corona virus (COVID-19).

2. The present applications for anticipatory bail have been filed by the petitioners apprehending their arrest in connection with F.I.R. No.484/2021, Police Station Nimbahera Sadar, District Chittorgarh.

3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that since petitioner Narayan Lal has already preferred a separate bail application being S.B. Criminal Misc. Bail application No.715/2022, therefore he does not want to press the bail application qua petitioner Narayan Lal in S.B. Criminal Misc. Bail application No.1322/2022.

I have gone through the impugned order as well as pleading in the bail application.

Learned Public Prosecutor has vehemently opposed the bail application.

4. Having regard to the nature of accusation, the gravity of the offence, material on record in support thereof and taking into consideration the totality of the facts and circumstances of the present case, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, I am not inclined to extend the benefit under Section 438
