The petitioners, who are father and son, have approached this Court for grant of anticipatory bail in a case instituted by the Receiver of the property under section 379 of the Penal Code. As per the allegations in the FIR, the Receiver found that the paddy crops standing on the disputed plots were harvested a day before his arrival on the land in question.
