(iv) The applicant shall not leave India without prior permission of the Court concerned. 8. In default of any of the conditions, the prosecution shall be at liberty to file appropriate application for cancellation of interim anticipatory bail granted to the applicant." 4. Counsel for the applicant contends that the applicant has been falsely implicated in the present case. The case is purely civil in nature. The opposite party no. 2 has attempted to cloak it with a criminal flavour to harass the applicant. At this stage, there is no credible evidence to link the applicant with the offence. Pursuant to the interim order dated 17.6.2025 the applicant had furnished bail bonds before the S.H.O. concerned and had joined the investigation. Investigation is still pending. The applicant is co- operating with the investigation. The applicant has not violated any conditions or misused the liberty of anticipatory bail. The applicant has no criminal antecedents. In case, the applicant is granted anticipatory bail, till the conclusion of trial he will not misuse the said liberty. 5. Learned A.G.A. and counsel for the opposite party no.2 have opposed the prayer for anticipatory bail but could not satisfactorily dispute the aforesaid submissions from the record. 6. Having regard to the submissions made, considering the nature of accusations, antecedents of the applicant, and the fact that the case is purely civil in nature; at this stage, there is no substantive evidence to link the applicant with the offence; applicant is co-operating with the investigation. Further, no violation of conditions or misuse of liberty of interim anticipatory bail has been pointed out by learned AGA, without commenting on merits of the case, I am of the opinion that the applicant is entitled for anticipatory bail. 7. In the event of arrest, the applicant Moin Khan @ Moin Mian, involved in the aforesaid case crime be released on anticipatory bail during pendency of trial, on furnishing a personal bond of Rs. 50,000/- with two sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of the court concerned with the following conditions:- (i) The applicant shall co-operate with the Investigating Officer during NABAIL No. 4607 of 2025 2 investigation and shall report to the Investigating Officer as and when required for the purpose of conducting investigation; (ii) The applicant 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 them from disclosing such facts to the court or to any police officer; (iii) The applicant shall not leave the country during the currency of trial without prior permission from the concerned trial Court.
