He submits that now the chargesheet has already been submitted and in view that the petitioner may kindly be provided the privilege of anticipatory bail. 4. Mr. D.K.

Considering that the chargesheet has already been submitted and during investigation, it appears that the petitioner has co-operated in the investigation that’s why the CBI has not arrested her and only allegation is there against the petitioner of obtaining 06 more marks from the interview board, 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 her 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 Additional Judicial Commissioner- cum-Special Judge, CBI, Ranchi, in connection with R.C.-05(A)/2012- AHD-R of 2012, subject to the conditions as laid down under section 482(2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023.
