The accused/applicant seeks anticipatory bail in case FIR No. 285/2024 of PS Punjai Bagh for offence under Section 420/468/471 IPC. 2. In this anticipatory bail application pending since 06.03.2025 (though before me this is the first date), none appears on behalf of State. Neither the learned prosecutor nor the IO has appeared.
