This is an application filed by the petitioner praying for grant of anticipatory bail in terms of Sections 482 and 484 of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 apprehending his arrest for the offences under Sections 302(2) and 317(5) of BNS, Section 4 and 21 of MMDR Act, Sections 4 and 54 of JMMC and Sections 9, 11 and 13 of Jharkhand Minerals (Prevention of Illegal Mining, Transportation, and Storage) Rule.
3.
There is nothing in the petition to suggest that the petitioner is apprehending arrest in his case. Thus, I am not inclined to entertain this application. The petitioner is directed to surrender before the Trial Court and seek regular bail which shall be considered by the said Court strictly in compliance of the guidelines laid down in the case of Satender Kumar Antil vs. Central Bureau of Investigation & Another, reported in 2022 (10) SCC 51 as well as the observation made in the case of Satender Kumar Antil vs. Central Bureau of Investigation & Another, reported in 2024 (9) SCC 198.
4.
Accordingly, the instant application stands disposed.
