Anticipatory Bail Application U/S 482 B.N.N.S. No. 2036 of 2025. The case of the applicant stands on identical footing, hence the applicant is also entitled for bail on the ground of parity. The applicant has definite apprehension that he may be arrested by the police any time. Learned A.G.A. has opposed the prayer for anticipatory bail but does not dispute the claim of parity. Hence without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case and considering the nature of accusations and antecedents of applicant and also the second surge in the cases of novel coronavirus and possibility of further surge of the pandemic, he is directed to be enlarged on anticipatory bail as per the Constitution Bench judgment of the Apex Court in the case of Sushila Aggarwal vs. State (NCT of Delhi)- 2020 SCC Online SC 98. The future contingencies regarding anticipatory bail being granted to applicant shall also be taken care of as per the aforesaid judgment of the Apex Court.

The applicant shall surrender his passport, if any, to the concerned Court forthwith. His passport will remain in custody of the concerned Court. 3.

In case of default of this condition, it shall be open for the trial court to treat it as abuse of liberty of bail and pass orders in accordance with law to ensure presence of the applicant. 5.
