FIRST APPLICATION UNDER SECTION 438 READ WITH SECTION 482 OF THE
CODE OF CRIMINAL PROCEDURE SEEKING A DIRECTION TO THE
INVESTIGATING OFFICER TO RELEASE THE PETITIONER ON BAIL IN THE
EVENT OF HIS ARREST IN FIR NO. 512/2021 REGISTERED UNDER SECTION 12
OF THE POCSO ACT 2012 AT MODEL TOWN POLICE STATION

To
The Hon’ble Chief Justice and his Companion
Hon’ble Judges of the Hon’ble High Court of Delhi at New Delhi

MOST RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED:


1. That Mr. Anand Singh holds a permanent residence in 34/2B Model Town, New Delhi,
110009, and is a well-known law professor at Chanakya University.
2. The applicant is an upstanding citizen who is qualified for the protection provided by the
Constitution.
3. That the FIR No. 512/2021, filed at Model Town Police Station in New Delhi in accordance
with Section 12 of the POCSO Act, is what prompted the applicant to submit the current
application, which asks for the granting of an anticipatory bail directing the investigating
officer to release the applicant. A copy of the FIR is included with this document as Annexure
P/1.
4. That Mr. Rahul Sharma and his son, Mr. Gokul Sharma, are the "Complainants" in the case,
and that the Applicant is their neighbor. It is crucial to notice that both of their homes were
built such that they only produce one parking place, which is located directly in the centre of
both homes.
5. The following are a few quick facts and events that led to the submission of the current
application:
● That the Applicant purchased a brand-new Honda Civic for Rs 28,00,000 on 1 October 2021.
On November 1, 2021, the Complainant also acquired a Honda Civic like the Applicant's
vehicle.
● That there has been a regular squabble about parking space for both automobiles since the
Complainant purchased the car. While the Applicant thought that the area may be shared on a
rotating basis, the Complainant said that the space is closer to his side of the land and will be
his own property. As Annexure P/2, an image of the parking spot is provided.
● That during the first two weeks of November, the Complainant would come home early and
park his vehicle in the parking area. As a consequence, the Applicant would have to park his
automobile on the side of the main road.
● That on November 20, 2021, the Applicant had a half-day off from work and parked his
automobile on the site in the afternoon. When the Complainant returned at 8 p.m., he was
astonished to discover the Applicant's automobile occupying his position and started hurling
profanity at the Applicant. When the Applicant stepped out and volunteered to remove the
automobile in the interest of peace, the Complainant pulled out a screwdriver and punctured
the Applicant's rear tires in a fit of wrath. Annexure P/3 has a dated image of the punctured
automobile.
● At 10 p.m. on 20 November 2021, an automobile driven by a stranger collided with the
Complainants' parked vehicle on the side of the main road. In a fit of fury, the Complainant
blamed the Applicant for the aforementioned damage and told the Applicant, "Ab dekhna
court ke kitne chakkar lagvata hunt ko; aise aise jhoothe charges lagaunga, ki utarte utarte
thak jayega" before leaving.
● The applicant went at 7 AM on the morning of November 21 for a business trip to Bangalore,
Karnataka, thinking that this would all be an act of fury. The applicant visited Bangalore for
around 9 days before leaving on November 30, 2021. As Annexure P/4, a duplicate of the trip
ticket, hotel bill, and conference ID is provided (Colly.).
● On November 30, 2021—the day the applicant returned from Bangalore—the complainant
filed a police report (FIR No. 512/2021) against the applicant at the Model Town Police
Station in accordance with Section 12 of the POCSO Act 2012. The Complainant had said
that the Applicant had entered their home at night when the Complainant was sleeping and
sexually harassed the Complainant's son on the evening of November 20, 2021.
● It is simply provable that the applicant stayed within his apartment complex the whole night
of November 20 and did not leave until the following morning, when he boarded a flight for
Bangalore. Herewith, as Annexure P/5, is a copy of the surveillance footage from the store
across the street.
● That on 03/12/2021, the applicant went to the senior additional sessions judge at Rohini
Courts to request the granting of anticipatory bail. This document's Annexure P/6 contains a
genuine copy of the Anticipatory Bail Application No. 702 of 2021, which was submitted to
the ld. Additional Sessions Judge.
● However, the senior additional sessions judge dismissed the applicant's request for
anticipatory release in his ruling dated 07.12.2021, citing the POCSO Act's serious character
and the impossibility of treating such claims lightly. Annexed to this document is a certified
copy of the order issued by the ld. Additional Sessions Judge on December 7, 2021.
(Impugned Order).
6. The applicant has not submitted any more petitions to the honorable Supreme Court or to any
other Court, according to that.
7. That, among other reasons, the applicant is submitting the current application for the issuance
of anticipatory bail on the following grounds:
Grounds

1. Because the ld. Additional Sessions Court failed to appreciate that the Applicant had
no access to the Complainant’s son, Gokul Sharma on the night of the alleged sexual
harassment and had not left his home during that time.

2. Because the ld. Additional Sessions Court failed to appreciate that the Applicant had
gone to Bangalore the following morning and had not arrived back until the complaint
had been filed.

3. Because the Complainant was already annoyed with the Applicant and had just gotten
into an altercation with him which had turned physical and caused both of them to get
hurt along with hurl abuses at each other, and as a result the complainant had filed the
FIR to get back at him.

4. Because the Complainant, after their altercation had clearly threatened the Applicant
outside his house for the whole society to hear, that he would register a false case
against him and would harass him by making him doing rounds of the court, and has
abided by his words.

5. Because the ld. Additional Sessions Judge failed to appreciate the ridiculousness of
the Complainant's application, even though it is clear that the FIR was filed with the
intention of exacting revenge on the Applicant for the parking spot disagreement.

6. Because in the case of Gurbaksh Singh Sibia vs. The State of Punjab, [1980 SCR (3)
383], It was noted that with regard to anticipatory bail, a directive for the release of
the applicant on bail in the event of his arrest would typically be made if the proposed
accusation appears to stem not from motives of furthering the ends of justice but from
some ulterior motive, the object being to injure and humiliate the applicant by having
him arrested.

7. Because the Applicant is a law abiding and upstanding member of the community and
has never been in any case of this manner.

8. Because the Petitioner is a reputed Professor of Political Science at Chanakya


University who is a permanent resident of Model Town, New Delhi- 110156, who has
been residing in his family home for the past 10 years and belongs to a respectable
family and has deep roots in the society and there is no possibility of the of the
Applicant to flee from justice or tempering with the evidence.

9. Because the Petitioner undertakes to comply with the investigation and comply with
the directions of the investigating officers as and when directed.

10. Because the Applicant is ready and willing to abide by the rules and regulations as
imposed by this Hon’ble Court or grant of anticipatory bail.

PRAYER
In light of the facts and circumstances aforementioned, it is most respectfully prayed for that

this Hon’ble Court may be pleased to:

a) direct the Investigating Officer to release the Applicant on bail in the event of his

arrest in FIR No. 525/2021 under Section 12 of the POCSO Act 2012 registered at the Model

Town Police Station; and

b) stay the arrest of the Applicant during the process of completion of the present

Application; and

c) grant any further relief in favour of the Applicant as this Hon’ble Court may deem fit

and proper keeping in mind the facts and circumstances of this case.

AND FOR THIS ACT OF KINDNESS YOUR COMPLAINANT AS IS DUTY BOUND

SHALL EVER PRAY.
