The learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State though raised objection to the filing of pre-arrest bail before the High Court directly, however, fairly submitted that the accused has been cooperating with the investigation of the case. 7. In view of the above and consideration that the accused has already been arrested and subsequently, released on bail, his statement has been recorded and further considering that the custodial interrogation of the accused is no longer required, this Court is of the opinion that interim anticipatory bail granted to the accused is liable to be made absolute. 8. Accordingly, the interim anticipatory bail granted to the accused on 05.09.2025 is hereby regularised and made absolute, subject to the same terms and conditions as imposed in the interim order with the further condition that the accused applicant shall continue to cooperate and appear before the Investigating Officer and the Trial Court, as and when called for. 9.
