The instant appeal was preferred under Section 14-A(2) of the SC\/ST Act against trial court\u2019s order refusing appellant\u2019s prayer for grant of anticipatory bail.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The High Court noted that there were inconsistencies in statements made by the informant in first information report (FIR) and that of his daughter as recorded in the case diary. Informant was not the eyewitness of the occurrence alleged. His daughter was examined by the police and her statement recorded in case diary did not contain the name of the appellant. Rather, she had alleged some unknown persons to have poisoned the cow of the informant. Informant\u2019s daughter had not supported other allegations disclosed in the FIR.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In view of the above, the appeal was allowed and anticipatory bail was granted to the appellant in the event of his arrest, subject to the condition of full cooperation in the investigation\/trial of the case, failing which trial court would be at liberty to cancel his bail bond.[Brihaspati Sah v.
