It was submitted that, story in the the FIR appears to be farfetched. It is submitted that, as per the story of prosecution, while one of the tractors was caught, other 3 tractors even on chase by private vehicle by police party were successful in fleeing. It is submitted that, such allegations seem to be far from reality as tractor which has negligible speed cannot run away when it is chased by private vehicles run by police party.
It was submitted that, the only allegations against the applicant is that, co-accused in police custody has disclosed that, applicant was piloting the tractors filled with sand.
Taking into consideration the submissions made, Sheikh Ayub was granted anticipatory bail.
