In view of the aforesaid, the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner is allowed in spite of the fact that there has been recovery of 17 kgs. of Brown Sugar. 2 Accordingly, in the event of arrest, the petitioner viz., Md Samiul Khan shall be released on bail to the satisfaction of the Arresting Officer on such terms and conditions as he deems fit and proper and also be subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 corresponding to Section 482(2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023. As the charge-sheet has already been submitted before the jurisdictional court, this order of anticipatory bail will remain in force for a period of six weeks from date. Memo of Evidence submitted by the learned advocate appearing for the State be kept with the record. The application for anticipatory bail, being CRM (A) 2688 of 2026, is, thus, disposed of.
