The applicant has not forged or manipulated any documents. It is next contended that co-accused Divyanshi Tiwari @ Shenu has been granted anticipatory bail by this Court vide order dated 19.3.2025 passed in Criminal Misc. Anticipatory Bail Application No. 2189 of 2025. Investigation has been completed. Charge-sheet has been filed. The applicant had cooperated in the investigation. No custodial interrogation is required. The applicant has been summoned by the concerned court. The applicant has no criminal antecedents. The applicant has apprehension of his arrest in the above mentioned case. In case, the applicant is released on anticipatory bail, he will not misuse the said liberty. 4. Learned A.G.A. and counsel for the informant have opposed the prayer for anticipatory bail but could not satisfactorily dispute the aforesaid submissions from the record. 5. Having regard to the submissions made by learned counsel for the applicant, considering the nature of accusations, antecedents of the applicant and the fact that earlier, the applicant lodged a first information report against the informant, the fact that in the said case, charge-sheet has been submitted against the informant under Section 498A I.P.C., the fact that the co-accused Divyanshi Tiwari @ Shenu has been granted anticipatory bail by this Court, the fact that the applicant had cooperated in the investigation and no custodial interrogation is required, at this stage, there is no substantive evidence against the applicant, without commenting on merits of the case, I am of the opinion that the applicant is entitled to be enlarged on anticipatory bail. 6.
