If both the FIRs arise out of the same incident, the second FIR is not maintainable. There cant be two investigations for same offence. For practical purposes anticipatory bail must be sought, till the time second FIR is in force. You must challenge the second FIR on legal grounds.

If the second FIR is registered on the same facts, then instead of filing anicipatory bail, file a petition before High court for quashing of second for with interim prayer for stay of investigation otherwise file bail application if facts are not same
