Mr. Prashant Pallav, learned D.S.G.I. appearing for the CBI has opposed the prayer and submits that in the chargesheet, materials are there against the petitioner. 5. Considering that the chargesheet has already been submitted and during the investigation, it appears that the petitioner has co-operated in the investigation that’s why the CBI has not arrested him and further one of the co-accused has already been provided the privilege of anticipatory bail by this court in A.B.A. No. 3381 of 2025 by the order dated 01.08.2025, I am inclined to provide privilege of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. 6. Accordingly, the petitioner, named above, 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 AJC-XVIII-cum-Special Judge, CBI, Ranchi, in connection with R.C.
