Case No.288 of 2025 arising out of Bowbazar Police Station Case No.98 of 2025 dated 09-05-2025, the instant application has been filed by the petitioner for anticipatory bail. 3. It is submitted that the petitioner is a resident of West Delhi and he obtained the transit bail. However, that has been expired and before expiry only he applied for fresh bail.

More so, the petitioner was never an FIR named person and the allegation levelled against him is false and concocted. 5. Learned advocate for the State raises objection to the prayer for anticipatory bail and submits that the present petitioner is the king pin of the bank fraud committed and there are sixteen accounts found in the name of the present petitioner in course of investigation. Further, during investigation, the Branch Manager was examined and it was found that there was hacking of the banking server. 6. Considering all the facts and circumstances of the case, the severity of the complaint and the fact that investigation is still going on, this Court is not inclined to grant the benefit of anticipatory bail in favour of the petitioner. The prayer stands rejected. 7. The application for anticipatory bail is, thus, dismissed. 8. All parties shall act on the server copies of this order duly downloaded from the official website of this Court. 9.
