Mr. Pratick Bose ... ...For the State The order dated January 9, 2024 remains uncompelled with. The said order required deposit of 50% of the final assessment.

Since the order remains uncomplied with and deposit not made as directed and there are materials on record implicating the petitioners in the theft of electricity, we are unable to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners.

Thus, the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioners is rejected.

Accordingly, the application for anticipatory bail is dismissed.
