Petitioners, who have received enquiry notice in the said case from the police intend to approach the jurisdictional Court seeking anticipatory bail. In order to enable them to approach the said Court, they are before this Court, seeking transit anticipatory bail since they apprehend arrest by the respondent - Police on their way to Haryana to apply for anticipatory bail. 4. Learned counsel for the petitioners having reiterated the grounds urged in the petition submits that accused No.1, who is the husband of the first informant is bedridden for the last nearly four years. 5. Medical documents of accused No.1 produced in support of the aforesaid condition would go to show that he had suffered a cardiac arrest on 24.05.2022 and ever since then, he is bedridden and he is dependent on others for his day-to-day activities and there is significant weakness in his upper and lower limbs for which he is taking treatment for the last four years. - 4 - HC-KAR CNR: KAHC010661622026 NC: 2026:KHC:53873 CRL.P No. 14636 of 2026 6. Accused Nos.2 and 3 are the aged parents of accused No.1. Since accused Nos.1 to 3 intend to approach the jurisdictional Court seeking anticipatory bail in the aforesaid case, so as to enable them to approach the jurisdictional Court, some interim protection is required to be given having regard to the apprehension expressed by them. The law in this regard has been laid down by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of Priya Indoria vs. State of Karnataka and Others - (2024) 4 SCC 749. Under the circumstances, I am of the opinion that if limited protection is granted to the petitioners for the purpose of enabling them to approach the jurisdictional Sessions Court and file necessary application seeking anticipatory bail in the above case, the same would serve the ends of justice. Accordingly, the following order:- 7. The petition is allowed. Petitioners are granted transit anticipatory bail for a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of the certified copy of this order, so as to enable them to approach the jurisdictional Court seeking anticipatory bail in Crime No.108/2026 registered by Women West Police Station, GGM, Gurugram, Haryana, for the offences punishable under - 5 - HC-KAR CNR: KAHC010661622026 NC: 2026:KHC:53873 CRL.P No. 14636 of 2026 Sections 85, 351(3) read with Section 3(5) of BNS, 2023.
