Adjourned to 15.07.2025. The petitioner is directed to appear before the Investigating Officer on 20.06.2025 at 11:00 A.M. in concerned Police Station and join investigation. In the event of arrest, the petitioner shall be released on interim bail subject to her furnishing personal/surety bond(s) to the satisfaction of the Arresting Officer/Investigating Officer. As and when further called by Investigating Officer, the petitioner shall join the investigation. She shall abide by the condition(s) enumerated under Section 482(2) of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023.” 3. Learned State counsel (on instructions from ASI Davinder) has submitted that the petitioner has joined investigation, but is required for custodial interrogation as she is not cooperating for recovery of the money in question. 4. Having heard learned counsel for the rival parties and upon perusal of the record, this Court deems it appropriate to confirm the order dated 16.06.2025, as the petitioner has joined investigation and her alleged non-cooperation for recovery of the money in question cannot be any ground to reject the petition in hand. 5. Accordingly, the petition is allowed and the order dated 16.06.2025 granting interim anticipatory bail to the petitioner is hereby made absolute, subject to the conditions as enumerated under Section 482(2) of BNSS. 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.
