In Brief
Amar Nath Neogi, a senior citizen aged 65, sought anticipatory bail in a fraud and forgery case (Sections 420, 467, 468, 471 IPC). The investigation had been completed and the final report filed. The Supreme Court found the anticipatory bail plea academic once the investigation concluded. The Court allowed the appeal on condition that the appellant surrender before the trial court within two weeks and be released on bail of Rs. 50,000 with two sureties. No prior Government service history was noted.
