O R D E R

1) The petitioner is apprehending

her arrest in connection with FIR No.

0009 dated 04.01.2024 registered at

Police Station Zirakpur, District SAS

Nagar, Punjab, for the offences

punishable under Sections 420 and

120B of the Indian Penal Code, 1860,

and Section 24 of the Emigration Act,

1983.

2) While issuing notice on

21.04.2025, by way of interim relief,

direction for not taking coercive

steps subject to cooperation in the

investigation, was issued.

3) Learned counsel for the

respondent-State submits that the

petitioner has joined the

SLP (Crl.) No. 5670/2025 2
investigation.

4) After hearing and in the facts

of this case, without expressing any

opinion on the merits of the case, we

deem it appropriate to confirm the

order of interim protection and deem

it appropriate to release the

petitioner on anticipatory bail.

5) In view of the above, we direct

that in the event of arrest, the

petitioner shall be released on bail

on furnishing suitable bail bonds and

sureties and on such other terms and

conditions as may be deemed fit by

the Station House Officer of the

concerned police station.

6) We further direct that the

petitioner shall join the

SLP (Crl.) No. 5670/2025 3
investigation as and when required

and co-operate in the same abiding

all the conditions as specified under

Section 438(2) of the Cr.P.C.

7) It is made clear here that

violation, if any, by the petitioner,

may give a cause to take recourse as

permissible and the trial Court is at

liberty to do the needful.

8) Accordingly, and in view of the

foregoing, this special leave

petition stands disposed of. Pending

application(s), if any, shall stand

disposed of.
