The applicants have no concern with the alleged sale deed. No sale consideration was paid to the applicants. The applicants are not the beneficiary of the alleged transaction. The applicants have no criminal antecedents. It is next submitted that the investigation is going on and the applicants have apprehension of their arrest in the above mentioned case. 4. Learned A.G.A. opposed the prayer for anticipatory bail but could not satisfactorily dispute the aforesaid submissions from the record. 5. Learned counsel for the applicants further submits that the application for grant of anticipatory bail be confined only till the submission of the police report. 6. Having regard to the submissions made by learned counsel for the applicants, considering the nature of accusations and antecedents of the applicants, in particular the fact, that the sale deed dated 29.10.2024 was executed by co-accused Prahlad Singh, at this stage, there is no substantive evidence to link the applicant, without commenting on merits of the case, I am of the opinion that the applicants are entitled to be enlarged on anticipatory bail till the submission of police report. 7. In the event of arrest, the applicants Saudan Singh and Manohar Lal be released on anticipatory bail in the aforesaid case crime till the submission of police report, if any, under Section 193 (3) BNSS on furnishing a personal bond of Rs. 50,000/- with two sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of the Station House Officer of the police station concerned with the following conditions: (i) the applicants shall make themselves available for interrogation by a police officer as and when required; (ii) the applicants shall not directly or indirectly, make any inducement, threat or promise to any person acquainted with the facts of the case so as to dissuade from disclosing such facts to the Court or to any police officer; (iii) the applicants shall not leave India without the previous permission of the Court and if they have passport, the same shall be deposited by them before the S.S.P./S.P. concerned. 8.
