<h1>Anticipatory bail sought for former state law officer; court conditioned cooperation with investigation and bond-based release.</h1> The petition concerns anticipatory bail for a former Advocate General in a corruption probe under the Prevention of Corruption Act and IPC, challenging lower courts' refusals and contesting the necessity of custodial interrogation. The Court imposed procedural conditions requiring cooperation with investigators and reporting when directed, and provided for release on bail upon arrest subject to execution of personal bonds with sureties, reflecting a balance between investigatory needs and protection against unnecessary custody.
