After hearing both the parties, and after going through the documents, I am of the view that as of today, the custody of the present applicants is not necessary as the main accused has been arrested and has been released on regular bail. The present anticipatory bail application is allowed. Hence, the following order :-

(b) In the event of arrest in connection with Crime No. 0134/2025 dated 9th April, 2025 registered with Padgha Police Station, Thane Rural for the offence punishable under Sections 118(2), 115(2), 351(2), 352, 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, the applicants shall be
