Anticipatory bail in PMLA complaint linked to surrender before trial court and release on bail conditions.

In a complaint under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002, the Rajasthan HC considered anticipatory bail in light of the petitioner's summoning, the status of the main accused, the pendency of proceedings, and the petitioner's willingness to surrender and face trial. The Court directed that if the petitioner surrendered before the trial court within ten days, he would be released on bail subject to that court's satisfaction. The disposition therefore turned on surrender and compliance with the trial court's bail conditions rather than an unconditional grant of anticipatory bail.
