Mandatory instructions to drafter:
1. Check and cite whether the case is impacted by any special-statute bail restrictions (NDPS s.37, PMLA s.45 etc.) and address those tests with facts & authorities.
2. Check whether BNSS (Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita) or any recent state amendment affects Section numbers / availability of anticipatory bail in this matter; draft alternate citations and a short paragraph explaining the applicable code.
3. If arrest already took place, set out Arnesh Kumar / s.41A compliance (or lack thereof) in the opening paragraphs and attach documentary proof (41A notice / remand orders).
4. Use short, neutral Synopsis & List of Dates as page-one. Provide precise, workable conditions for release and draft both personal bond and surety bond.
5. Provide suggested court-ready oral submissions (5–7 lines) for urgent listing and a recommended bench (Magistrate / Sessions / HC) based on charges and local practice.

Before finalising, run a targeted check for any new Supreme Court or High Court decisions in 2024–2025 on anticipatory bail for the specific statute involved and update footnote citations accordingly.
