Learned State counsel (on instructions) has stated that pursuant to the order dated 11.09.2025, the petitioner has indeed joined investigation, and his custodial interrogation is not required. 4. Learned counsel for the complainant has vehemently opposed the grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner by arguing that there are direct allegations against the petitioner, and in case, the petitioner is extended the concession of anticipatory bail, there is all likelihood that he may abscond from the process of justice and interfere in the prosecution evidence. 5. Having heard learned counsel for the parties and upon perusal of the record, and in view of the stance of the State, the interim order dated 11.09.2025 passed by this Court is made absolute, subject to the conditions as enumerated under Section 482(2) of BNSS, 2023. 6. Petition stands allowed, accordingly. 7. 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. 8. 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, 2023 or upon showing any other sufficient cause.
