However, if the petitioner surrenders before the Court below and seeks bail, the Court below, after taking into account and verifying the fact that the house from where the recovery has been made does not belong to the petitioner, shall pass orders in accordance with law, without being prejudiced by the fact that the present anticipatory bail application has not been entertained by this Court. The application stands dismissed.
