There is allegation against the petitioner is that he tortured his wife. 5. During course of argument, by referring Annexure- 2, which is chargesheet, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner has fully cooperated with the Investigating Officer during investigation and thereafter, chargesheet has been submitted against the petitioner. 6. Learned A.P.P. representing the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail, but admits that the chargesheet has already been submitted against this petitioner and the petitioner was not arrested during investigation. 7. The fact that chargesheet has been submitted without arresting the petitioner, clearly suggest that was not necessary to arrest the petitioner during investigation. Thus, this case is covered by the judgment of the Hon’ble Supreme Court in the case of Satender Kumar Antil vs. Central Bureau of Investigation & Another, reported in (2022) 10 SCC 51. 8. Petitioner is directed to appear before the Trial Court where the chargesheet has been filed and on his appearance the Court concerned, will pass an appropriate order in terms of the judgment of the Hon’ble Supreme Court in the case of Satender Kumar Antil (Supra). 9. Accordingly, the instant anticipatory bail application stands disposed of. R.S./ (ANANDA SEN, J.)
