Judgment
Heard the parties.
This anticipatory bail application under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), 2023, has been preferred by the petitioner apprehending her arrest for offences registered under Sections 316(2) and 318(4) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, section 103 and 104 of Trade Marks Act, 1999 and section 63, 64, 65 of Copy Right Act pending in the Court of learned S.D.J.M, Garhwa in connection with Meral PS Case No. 3 of 2025.
Learned A.P.P. representing the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail.
There is an allegation that the petitioner is involved in an offence wherein from her house huge quantity of fake insecticides as well as fake label bottles were recovered. The impugned order clearly takes into consideration that the petitioner is not cooperating with the investigation nor has responded to the notice issued to her in terms of section 35(3) of the BNSS.
Since the petitioner is not cooperating with investigation and has not even responded to the notice under section 35(3) of the BNSS, this Court finds it not a fit case for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner.
