After hearing the submissions of learned counsels for both sides and considering the materials available in the Case Diary and the cooperation of the Page No.# 3/3 petitioner during the investigation, I find it appropriate to extend the privilege of pre-arrest bail to the accused/petitioner. Therefore, the interim pre-arrest bail granted to the accused/petitioner vide order dated 17.03.2025, is hereby made absolute, with a direction to co-operate with the IO in the further investigation of the case. In light of the above, this anticipatory bail application stands disposed of. JUDGE Comparing Assistant
