A Coordinate Bench of this Court, vide order dated 17.04.2023, granted interim anticipatory bail to the applicant. In compliance with the conditions stipulated therein, the applicant has duly cooperated with the investigation as and when called upon by the Investigating Officer. 4. It has been brought to the notice of the Court that the investigation has since been concluded and the charge-sheet has already been filed before the competent Court in the connected Anticipatory Bail Application No. 1128 of 2023. The present application also arises out of the same F.I.R. 5. Having heard learned counsel for the parties, perused the material available on record, and considering the facts and circumstances of the case, this Court finds that the applicant has remained protected by virtue of the interim order dated 17.04.2023 UKHC010056662023 2026:UHC:6567 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 either misused the liberty granted to him or 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 overall 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 vide order dated 17.04.2023. 6. Consequently, the interim anticipatory bail granted to the applicant vide order dated 17.04.2023 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 proceedings. It shall also be open to the learned Trial Court to impose such further conditions, if considered necessary, in accordance with law. 7. Accordingly, the Anticipatory Bail Application stands allowed.
