Learned State counsel has filed reply by way of affidavit of Shri Sunil Kumar, HPS, DSP, HQ, Kurukshetra in Court today, which is taken on record.

Having heard learned counsel for the rival parties and upon perusal of the record, especially the factum of the petitioner having joined investigation and not having misused the concession of ad-interim anticipatory bail extended to him and the custodial interrogation is being sought for only on the ground that allegations him are serious in nature, this Court is inclined to allow the instant petition and to confirm the order dated 29.05.2025 granting interim anticipatory bail to the petitioner, subject to the conditions as enumerated under Section 482(2) of BNSS. 5. Ordered accordingly. 6. This order should not be treated as “blanket” order. It will not be read granting petitioner indefinite protection from arrest. It shall be confined to the FIR mentioned ibid and will not operate in respect of any other incident that involves commission of an offence. 7. Liberty is reserved in favour of State/complainant to move for cancellation/recall of this order in case the petitioner violates any condition stipulated under Section 482(2) of BNSS or upon showing any other sufficient cause.
