               P.C.:

               1. This Application is filed by the Applicant for transit bail in

                    connection with Crime No.21 of 2024 for offences under Sections

               Manisha                                                                             1/5

   Station, A.P., Mangalagiri.

2. The contentions which are raised in the present Application by the

   Applicant is that, he wants to file an appropriate Application for

   anticipatory bail before the jurisdictional District Court however,

   there is a fear that the Respondent No.1 might arrest the Applicant

   thereby curtailing his right to obtain anticipatory bail. Mr.

   Siddharth Luthra, learned Senior Counsel for the Respondent

   Nos.1 and 2 states that the Applicant is not residing in Mumbai but

   he is residing in Rajasthan. He states that the Applicant is not co-

   operating with investigation. He seeks rejection of the application.

3. Heard learned Counsel appearing for both the parties. This Court

   has not gone into the merits of the matter including the case of the

   Applicant for grant of anticipatory bail. Since there is a genuine

Manisha                                                                          2/5

   apprehension of arrest of Applicant in connection with the

   aforesaid crime which is well supported by the arrest of the brother

   of the Applicant. The Applicant should be given an opportunity of

   availing his right to file anticipatory bail before the jurisdictional

   Court. I am inclined to pass the following order:

                                                ORDER
i.               In the event of arrest of the Applicant in
