ABA/134/2026 Sangeeta Uniyal --Applicant Versus State Of Uttarakhand --Respondent Hon'ble Alok Mahra, J.
Ms. Divya Jain, learned counsel for the applicant.
Mr. Prabhat Kandpal, learned A.G.A. for the State of Uttarakhand.
2. By means of the present application, the applicant seeks the grant of anticipatory bail in connection with F.I.R. No. 0029 of 2026, registered at Police Station Dalanwala, District Dehradun, for the offences punishable under Sections 103(1) of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023.
3.
Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant is innocent and has been falsely implicated in the present case. It is submitted that a Coordinate Bench of this Court, vide
order dated 02.05.2026, granted interim anticipatory bail to the applicant and, in compliance with the conditions stipulated therein, the applicant has duly cooperated with the investigation as and when called upon by the Investigating Officer. Furthermore, the investigation has since been concluded and the charge-sheet has already been filed before the competent Court.
4.
Learned counsel for the applicant further contends that no material has been brought on record by the prosecution to demonstrate that the custodial interrogation of the applicant is either necessary or warranted at this
UKHC010063472026
2026:UHC:6282 stage. It is, therefore, prayed that the interim anticipatory bail granted to the applicant be confirmed and made absolute.
5. Learned State Counsel has no objection to the said prayer.
6. Having heard learned counsel for the parties, perused the material available on record, and considered the rival submissions, this Court finds that the applicant has remained protected by virtue of the interim
order dated 02.05.2026 and has duly complied with the conditions incorporated therein by extending full cooperation during the course of the investigation. The investigation has culminated in the submission of the charge-sheet before the competent Court. No material has been placed before this Court to indicate that the applicant has misused the liberty granted to her or has failed to cooperate with the investigating agency. It is also not the case of the prosecution that the custodial interrogation of the applicant is required at this stage. Having regard to the nature of the allegations, the stage of the proceedings, the conduct of the applicant during the period of interim protection, and the
facts and circumstances of the case, and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the prosecution case, this Court is of the considered opinion that the applicant has made out a fit case for confirmation of the interim anticipatory bail granted earlier.
7. Consequently, the interim anticipatory bail granted to the applicant vide order dated 02.05.2026 is hereby confirmed and made absolute. The applicant shall remain on anticipatory bail on the same terms and conditions as contained in the aforesaid order and shall continue to cooperate with the trial

2026:UHC:6282 proceedings. It shall also be open to the learned trial Court to impose such further conditions, if considered necessary, in accordance with law.
8. Accordingly, the Anticipatory Bail Application stands allowed.
