It is also submitted that the co-accused has already been granted privileges of anticipatory bail by the co-ordinate bench of this Court vide order dated 17.09.2026 in A.B.A No.5251 of 2026. It is further submitted that the petitioner has no knowledge about his tractor being involved in any illegal activity. It is then submitted that the petitioner undertakes to furnish sufficient security including cash security and also undertakes to cooperate with the investigation of the case. Hence, it is submitted that the petitioner be given the privileges of anticipatory bail. Learned Spl. P.P. opposes the prayer for grant of anticipatory bail.
