The interim order dated 25.6.2026, passed by this Court is hereby confirmed, subject to the conditions as enumerated under Section 482(2) of BNSS. 5.

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. 7.
