              In The Court of (name of the judge),
                          Addl: Sessions Judge,
           XYZ

B.A. No. 219 of 0000.

                      Arshad.             Vs.                     The State.

                    Petition Under Section  498, Cr.P.C.
For the Grant of  Pre-Arrest Bail.

Order.

The accused/petitioner has sought pre-arrest bail in case FIR No.245/0000, registered under section 3/6 and  3/7of  the Price Control Act at police station ABC, XYZ.

          2.       As per certificate given by the petitioner this is first pre arrest bail petition filed by him in this Court and no other bail petition of the petitioner is pending before any higher forum.

3.       According to FIR, the complainant, Special Magistrate Ist Class, XYZ, found the petitioner selling eggs at higher rate than that of the price rate issued by the Market Committee. Hence this case.

4.       It is contended on behalf of the petitioner that he is innocent; that he has falsely been implicated in this case; that he has nothing to do with the offence; that he is previous non-convict; that the case does not fall within the prohibitory clause; that there is no apprehension of his abscondance or tampering with the prosecution evidence if he is granted pre-arrest bail. He, accordingly, has prayed for acceptance of the bail petition.
          
          5.       Arguments heard. Record perused.

6.       The petitioner is nominated in the FIR with specific role. He was allegedly found selling the eggs at higher rate than that of the price rate issued by the Market Committee and  no malafide or ulterior motive is established on the part of the police or the complainant who is a Judicial Officer having no enmity or grudge with the accused-petitioner. The offence is against the society and sufficient material is available on record to connect him with the commission of offence alleged against him, therefore, he is not entitled to the extra ordinary relief of pre-arrest bail. Accordingly, the bail petition is dismissed.
Announced.
