3.

It is alleged that the applicant in Anticipatory Bail Application No. 190 of 2025, who at the relevant time was working as Inspector, Income Tax International Taxation Circle, Mumbai entered into conspiracy with the applicant in Anticipatory Bail Application No. 279 of 2025 who was working with M/s. Cosco Shipping Lines (India) Pvt. Ltd. and issued 100% DIT relief certificate for newly added vessel by accepting undue advantage from him.

4.

I have heard the learned senior advocate for the applicant and the learned Special P.P. for the respondent/CBI. 4.

Mr. Kuldeep Patil, learned Special P.P. for the respondent/CBI, on instructions, submits that the investigation is over and the charge-sheet is ready. It is submitted that as this court by order dated 31st January 2025 directed the CBI not to take any coercive action against the applicants and therefore, the charge-sheet has not been filed. It is submitted that the applicants have cooperated during investigation and their custodial interrogation is not necessary.

5.

Considering the overall facts and circumstances, I am inclined to release the applicants on anticipatory bail. In the result, the following order is passed.

ORDER

A) The Applications are allowed.

2/3

B) In the event of arrest of the applicants in C.R. No. RC0262025A0002 registered by Central Bureau of Investigation, ACB, Mumbai for the offences punishable under Sections 61(2) of the Bharatiya Nayaya Sanhita, 2023 and Sections 7, 7A, 8, 9 and 12 of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988, they be released on bail on executing P.R.
