Reason: Goyal. It is also brought to our notice that bail bonds
furnished by Ms. Seema Goyal have not yet been accepted

by the Trial Court. So far, the prosecution has intended
not to arrest her.
5. In that view of the matter, we direct the Trial Court
to accept the bail bonds of Ms. Seema Goyal on the
appropriate terms and conditions as may be fixed by it.
However, in the attending facts, one of the conditions
shall necessarily be that if she possesses a passport,
the same shall be deposited before the Competent
Authority/Court until the conclusion of the trial or
unless directed otherwise.
6. On 08.05.2026, this Court passed the following order:
“ 1. Let respondent no.1-State file
a comprehensive affidavit dealing
with not only the subject-matter of
the present lis but also all other
cases, their status and the stage of

pending against respondent no.2 but
also his family members and all the
accused in relation to the very same
crime. Let needful be done within
six weeks.
2. We direct respondent no.2 and his
family members who otherwise have
undertaken before us, to positively
appear on all dates, as may be fixed
by the Trial Court and not to seek
any unnecessary adjournment. In
fact, they shall fully cooperate2
with the expeditious disposal of the
trial.
3. We are informed that there are
other accused, who are also not
appearing before the Trial Court. If
that were so, it shall be open for
the Trial Court to take steps for
cancellation of their bail, if any,
and/or take steps for enforcing
their presence, in accordance with
law.
4. We further direct, should the
Trial Court deem it appropriate, it
shall be open for them to segregate
the trial.
5. Let the State also file an
affidavit indicating the
consequential steps taken by the
Trial Court in terms of this order.
6. List on 03.08.2026. ”
