2. This anticipatory bail application under Sections 482 and 484 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), 2023, has been preferred by the petitioner apprehending his arrest for offences registered under Sections 304 and 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 pending in the court of JM 1st Class, Bokaro in connection with Sector-4 PS Case No. 80 of
2024.
3. This is a case of snatching.
4.
Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has appeared before the Investigating Officer and is cooperating with the investigation and he has not been arrested.
5. Learned A.P.P. representing the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail.
6. From the submission of the petitioner, it is clear that he has got no apprehension of being arrested. Since there is no apprehension of the petitioner being arrested, this anticipatory

bail application is misconceived, thus, is not maintainable since as per the petitioner he is cooperating with the investigation after receipt of notice under section 35(3) of BNSS.
7. Accordingly, this Anticipatory Bail Application stands
disposed of.
