The petitioner is a young unmarried girl, aged about 24 years and is looking after her entire family. She is a student of M.Tech and is working as a freelancer.

He further contends that an amount of Rs.3,81,155/- was deposited in the account of the petitioner by Sunny Kapoor, main accused, however, the amount was withdrawn by her mother, Monika and her mother had misused her account. Even, Sunny Kapoor, Patwari committed the fraud of two crores approximately and the most of the amount has been recovered from him, during the course of investigation. 3. On the other hand learned State counsel has vehemently opposed the submissions made by learned counsel for the petitioner on the ground that an amount of Rs.3,81,155/- is yet to be recovered from the present petitioner. Moreover, from her bank account, it is apparent that she was in contact with Sunny Kapoor, main accused and various amounts were transferred in her account also. 4. I have heard the learned counsel for the parties and perused the record carefully in the present case. 5. In the present case, it is apparent that Monika, mother of the petitioner was having close relations with Sunny Kapoor, Patwari, main accused and a huge amount was transferred in her account by the accused. Only a meagre sum of Rs.3,81,155/- was transferred in the account of the petitioner, which was allegedly withdrawn by her mother. Moreover, the prosecution is yet to lead evidence with regard to the complicity of the petitioner in the crime and the petitioner may not be required in the present case. 6. Thus, without commenting any further, the present petition is allowed and the petitioner is granted concession of anticipatory bail, subject to the conditions as provided under Sections 482 (2) of B.N.S.S. It will be open for the HITESH 2025.05.16 17:08 I attest to the accuracy and authenticity of this document/judgment High Court, Chandigarh CRM-M-24484-2025 -3 Investigating Officer to call the petitioner to join the investigation, if so required, by issuing a written notice in this regard and she shall abide by the conditions mentioned in Section 482 (2) of B.N.S.S.
