Anticipatory Bail Application U/S 482 BNSS No. 2447 of 2024. The applicant seeks parity with the said co-accused. Learned A.G.A. has opposed the bail prayer but has not disputed the fact that the applicant stands on similar footing as that of co-accused Surya Bhan Singh. Considering the submissions and the fact of parity, the anticipatory bail application is disposed of with a direction that in the event of arrest, the
