2. This criminal appeal preferred under Section 21(4) of the National Investigation Agency Act, 2008 is directed against the order dated 18.02.2025 passed by learned Special Judge (NIA), Bilaspur in Special Case (NIA) No.25/2024, whereby learned Special Judge has rejected the application under Section 483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 filed by the appellant herein.
3. First Bail application of the appellant has been rejected by this Court vide order dated 16.08.2024 in CRA No. 1113 of 2024 on merits.
