ANTICIPATORY BAIL APPLICATION U/S 482 BNSS No. - 1786 of 2025 Applicant :- Arti Gautam And Another Opposite Party :- State of U.P. Counsel for Applicant :- Amit Kumar Tiwari,Ashutosh Kumar Mishra Counsel for Opposite Party :- G.A. Hon'ble Vivek Varma,J. 1. Vakalatnama, filed by Sri P. Dixit, Advocate on behalf of the informant, is taken on record. 2. Heard learned counsel for the applicants as well as learned A.G.A. for the State and Sri P. Dixit, counsel for the informant. Perused the material placed on record. 3. The present application has been filed with the prayer to grant anticipatory bail to the applicants in Case Crime No.0670 of 2023, under sections 420, 467, 468, 471 I.P.C., P.S. Bannadevi, District Aligarh. 4. Counsel for the applicants submits that the applicants have been falsely implicated in the instant case. The applicant no.1 is the wife of the deceased Dushyant Mohan (brother of the informant) and the applicant no.1 is the son of the applicant no.1. The applicants have not forged any document. Merely because another succession application was filed by the informant can hardly be the ground to initiate the criminal prosecution against the applicants. No offence is made out against the applicants. The applicants have no criminal antecedents. It is next submitted that the investigation is going on and the applicants have apprehension of their arrest in the above mentioned case. 5. Learned A.G.A. for the State and counsel for the informant have opposed the prayer for anticipatory bail but could not satisfactorily dispute the aforesaid submissions from the record. 6. Learned counsel for the applicants further submits that the application for grant of anticipatory bail be confined only till the submission of police report. 7. Having regard to the submissions made by learned counsel for the applicants, considering the nature of accusations and antecedents of the applicants, the fact that at this stage, there is no substantive evidence to link the applicants with the offence, without commenting on merits of the case, I am of the opinion that the applicants are entitled to be enlarged on anticipatory bail till the submission of police report. 8. In the event of arrest, the applicants Arti Gautam and Kartik Gautam @ Nikki be released on anticipatory bail in the aforesaid case crime till the submission of police report, if any, under section 173(2) Cr.P.C., on furnishing a personal bond of Rs. 50,000/- with two sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of the Station House Officer of the police station concerned with the following conditions:- (i) The applicants shall make themselves available for interrogation by a police officer as and when required; (ii) The applicants shall not directly or indirectly make any inducement, threat or promise to any person acquainted with the facts of the case so as to dissuade from disclosing such facts to the Court or to any police officer; (iii) The applicants shall not leave India without the previous permission of the Court and if they have passport, the same shall be deposited by them before the S.S.P./S.P. concerned. 9. In default of any of the conditions, the Investigating Officer is at liberty to file appropriate application for cancellation of anticipatory bail granted to the applicants. 10. The Investigating Officer is directed to conclude the investigation of the present case in accordance with law expeditiously preferably within a period of three months from the date of production of a copy of this order independently without being prejudiced by any observation made by this Court while considering and deciding the present anticipatory bail application of the applicants. 11. The applicants are directed to produce a copy of this order before the S.S.P./S.P. concerned within ten days from today, who shall ensure the compliance of present order. 12.
