However, at the airport, the visas provided were found to be forged. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant has been falsely implicated and has no prior criminal antecedents.

Apart from the statements of the complainants and other individuals, there is no Versus Counsel for Applicant(s) : Zeba Haneef (Km.), Mohd.

material evidence connecting the applicant to the alleged offence. The applicant undertakes to fully cooperate with the investigation.

Government Advocate is allowed 15 days' time to file counter affidavit. List on 19.08.2025.
On due consideration of the fact that the offences alleged are triable by a Magistrate; except the general allegations levelled in the statements recorded under Section 161 Cr.P.C., there is no prima facie documentary or scientific evidence connecting the applicant to the crime, coupled with the applicant?s undertaking to cooperate in the investigation, this Court, in light of the principles laid down in Sushila Aggarwal & Others v. State (NCT of Delhi) & Another, (2020) 5 SCC 1, finds it appropriate to grant interim anticipatory bail to the applicant. Till the next date of listing, it is provided that in the event of arrest, the applicant shall be released on interim anticipatory bail on his furnishing a personal bond and two sureties of the like amount to the satisfaction of the arresting officer/I.O./S.H.O. concerned. The applicant shall report to the investigating officer within ten days from the date of receipt of certified copy of the order. He shall cooperate in the investigation and he will not influence the witness. The accused-applicant will remain present as and when the arresting officer/I.O./S.H.O. concerned call(s) for investigation/interrogation. The applicant shall not leave India without previous permission of the Court. In case of default, it would be open for the investigating agency to move application for vacation of this interim protection."

The learned A.G.A.-I does not allege violation of any condition of interim anticipatory bail granted to the applicant. ABAIL No. 821 of 2025 2
5. Keeping in view of the aforesaid facts and circumstances, there is nothing which may persuade this Court from taking a different view than the one taken by the Co-ordinate Bench of this Court while granting interim anticipatory bail to the applicant. 6. Accordingly, interim order dated 28.07.2025 is made absolute. The anticipatory bail application is allowed in terms of the aforesaid order.
