On 12.08.2021, a Co-ordinate Bench of this Court held that in the event of arrest, the petitioner shall be released on interim anticipatory bail to the satisfaction of the Arresting/Investigating Officer, subject to certain conditions. The petitioner is also directed to join the investigation and cooperate with the Investigating Agency, as and when required.

The court observed that the balance amount of Rs. 10 lakhs has already been deposited with the trial Court and also the petitioner has joined the investigation.
Held that:-The Hon’ble High Court allowed the petition and made the interim order dated 12.08.2021 absolute.
