Learned advocate for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has been foisted with the criminal case because of change in administration. 2.

As such, I direct that in the event of arrest, the petitioner be released on bail by the Investigating Officer/Arresting Officer of the case on such terms and conditions as it deems fit and proper. This would be subject to the conditions under Section 438(2) of the Cr.P.C. and/or under Section 482(2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023. 6. As investigation is in progress, the petitioner shall report to the Investigating Officer within a period of 10 days and on all subsequent dates as required by the Investigating Officer till the report in final form is submitted before the Jurisdictional Court. 7.
