This is an application under Section 482 of the BNSS, 2023 praying for pre-arrest bail in respect of NDPS Case No.36/2024 pending in the court of the learned Special Judge, Cachar, Silchar. 3. On 31.05.2024, the anticipatory bail application of the present petitioner was rejected by this Court in AB No.788/2024. While filing the present application, no new ground has been pleaded. The petitioner has been absconding for a long time. In Balmukund Singh Gautam v. State of Madhya Pradesh and Anr., reported in 2026 Legal Eagle (SC) 159, the Supreme Court has already held that as a general rule an absconder is not entitled to anticipatory bail. 4. For the aforesaid two reasons, the present bail application of the present petitioner is dismissed and disposed of accordingly. JUDGE Comparing Assistant
