In reply, learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that so far criminal antecedent is concerned that is in the same line and that FIR was registered earlier and after 15 days the second/present FIR has been lodged and the allegations are same and in the first FIR the petitioner has already been granted anticipatory bail. 6. In view of the above and considering that the petitioner has been granted anticipatory bail in the first FIR and just after 15 days the present FIR has been lodged and the allegations in the present FIR are similar of the first FIR and even the land is said to be gairmajarua and that is not of the petitioner and in identical situation co-accused persons have been granted anticipatory bail in aforesaid ABAs, I am inclined to provide anticipatory bail to the petitioners. 7. Accordingly, the petitioner, above named, is hereby directed to surrender before the learned Court within three weeks from today, and in the event of his surrender/arrest, the petitioner, above named, shall be released on bail, on furnishing bail bond of Rs.25,000/- (Rupees Twenty Five Thousand), with two sureties of the like amount each, to the satisfaction of learned Special Judge, NDPS, Latehar in connection with Bariyatu P.S. Case No.07 of 2025, subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 482(2) of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023. (Sanjay Kumar Dwivedi, J.) Dated 16.10.2025 Sangam/
