NABAIL No. 3041 of 2026 3 3. Today, in compliance of the order dated 06.04.2026 the learned counsel for the applicant has handed over a demand draft of one lakh rupees and a cheque of four lakh rupees issued by the applicant in favour of the informant, which has been accepted by the learned counsel for the informant.

Learned counsel for the the informant has submitted that this Court vide order dated 6.4.2026 had recorded the submission of the applicant that he is ready to pay the entire due amount till the next date of listing. 3. Learned counsel for the applicant states that a demand draft of Rs. 1 lakh was handed over and a cheque of Rs. 4 lakh was then handed over. The cheque that was handed over was dishonoured after which the Learned counsel for the applicant had stated before this Court that Rs. 3 lakh had been sent in the account of the informant through RTGS. However, only Rs.99,000/- has been deposited and a false statement has been made before this Court. NABAIL No. 3041 of 2026 4 4. The fact that Rs. 3 lakh was not sent through RTGS on 8.7.2026 ,has not been disputed by the Learned counsel for the applicant. The statement given in the Court was incorrect and in view of the same, it would not be appropriate to extend the interim order granted in favour of the applicant. 5. List on 3.8.2026." 5.

Today, when the case has been called on, the Learned counsels for the parties have stated that now no dispute with respect to payment of money remains and the dues that were required to be paid have been paid till date. 7. In the view of the Court, it would be appropriate to dispose of this application after confirming the interim order that had been granted in favour of the applicant vide the order dated 6.04.2026. 8. Learned counsel for the informant has no objection to the said prayer. 9. In view of the above, I deem it appropriate to confirm the interim anticipatory bail granted to the applicant by the previous order of this Court dated 06.04.2026. 10. The anticipatory bail application of the applicant is allowed . 11. In the event of the arrest of the applicant Rajesh Sharma, he shall be released forthwith in the Case Crime No. 358 of 2025, under Sections 115(2), 316(2), 109, 352, 351(3), 324(4) of B.N.S., Police Station Dankaur, District Gautam Buddha Nagar, on anticipatory bail on the same terms and conditions as provided in the order dated 6.04.2026.
