Learned counsel for the CBI by opposing the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioners submits that some of the co-accused 2 KHAN had approached this court in the year 2006, 2007 and 2009 whereas the petitioner has come to this court belatedly. He further submits that the petitioner has been made accused in one more case which is being controverted by counsel for the petitioner. Having considered the facts and circumstances of the case and taking into consideration that co-accused Saibal Chatterjee has been enlarged on anticipatory bail by this court, the petitioner Ramanand Anand is directed to be released on anticipatory bail, in the event of his arrest/surrender within six weeks from today, in connection with Special Case No.18/05 arising out of R.C.(Pat) Case No.15(a) of 2005 on furnishing bail bond of Rs.5,000/- with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the Special Judge, C.B.I.
