It is brought to the notice of this Court that respondent herein was granted anticipatory bail by the Court of IX Additional District and Sessions Judge, Bangalore, Rural District, Bangalore, vide Order dated 13.12.2024 in Criminal Miscellaneous No.2584/2024 in Crime No.356/2022 registered by Attibele Police Station, Bangalore Rural District for offences punishable under Sections 7(A), 7(C) of Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988 and Sections 423, 424, 120-B, 149, 421, 465 and 468 of Indian Penal Code. - 3 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:30925 CRL.P No. 9910 of 2025 4. Subsequent to grant of anticipatory bail, charge sheet has been filed in the present case and respondent herein thereafter had filed an application under Section 227 of Cr.P.C. before the jurisdictional Court seeking his discharge. 5. It appears that the said application was rejected and therefore the respondent has approached this Court in Criminal Revision petition No.88/2026 and this Court by order dated 03.02.2026 has stayed the further proceedings in Crime No.356/2022 in so far as the respondent in concerned. 6. Under these circumstances, at this stage, the present petition filed on behalf of the State with a prayer to cancel the anticipatory bail to the respondent cannot be considered on merits. 7. Accordingly, without going into the merits of the case this Criminal petition is dismissed with liberty to the petitioner to file a fresh petition subject to outcome of Criminal Revision Petition No.88/2026.
