Supreme court: No blanket bar to grant Anticipatory bail to accused in offences under Mines Act

We may not agree with the broad sweep of the

observations in para 27 of the relied upon judgment

in the impugned order, i.e, Bala @ Balasubramani vs.

State in Crl.OP No. 13334 of 2020 and connected

matters, decided on 03.09.2020 as in consideration of

anticipatory bail the role assigned to a person would

have to be considered. However, looking to the FIR

and the nature of the allegations against the

petitioner, we are of the view that the petitioner

must surrender and apply for regular bail which

should be considered as expeditiously as possible.
