#1. Petitioner seeks anticipatory bail in FIR No.417 dated

24.10.2025 under Sections 406, 420, 467, 468, 471, 120-B, 201(b) Indian Penal Code, Police Station Gannaur, District Sonipat, Haryana. This is the first petition for anticipatory bail.

#2. While issuing notice of motion on 03.06.2026, following order was passed:- “Petitioner seeks anticipatory bail in case arising out of FIR No.417 dated 24.10.2025, under Sections 406, 420, 467, 468, 471, 120-B and 201(b) Police Station Gannaur, Sonipat, Haryana. This is the first petition for anticipatory bail. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that allegations in the FIR were primarily against main accused Sunil, husband of the petitioner. Complainant had alleged that he had given approximately Rs. 2 crores to husband of the petitioner for investing in stock market. It is argued that CRM-M-26890-2026 (O&M) -2- petitioner was a household lady with two small kids and had nothing to do with the transaction. Prior to registration of FIR, preliminary investigation was conducted into the matter. As per report of preliminary investigation, complainant himself willingly paid money to Sunil to earn huge profit from Angel One App(share market). Since it was a case of money transaction complainant was asked to file a recovery suit in the Civil Court as no cognizable offence was made out. Even if the contents of the FIR were accepted at their face value, there was nothing therein to suggest that any sum of money was specifically entrusted to the petitioner. Learned counsel further urges that previously also, petitioner had joined investigation and was still ready and willing to join investigation. Notice of motion. Mr. Kshitij Bharti, AAG Haryana, who is present in the Court accepts notice on behalf of respondent-State and opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail submitting that FIR alleged that a sum of Rs.12 lacs was made over by the complainant to all family members of the main accused i.e. father-Krishan, mother-Rajpati and wife-Jyoti. He further submits that a sum of Rs. 5,65,000/- was transferred by main accused Sunil in the bank account of his wife Jyoti out of which she immediately deposited a sum of Rs. 4,95,000/- in the Demat account with Angel One App. Petitioner, therefore, had active involvement in the case and was not entitled to benefit of anticipatory bail. CRM-M-26890-2026 (O&M) -3- In the given facts and circumstances of the case, in the event of arrest, petitioner shall be released on interim anticipatory bail subject to her furnishing personal and surety bonds to the satisfaction of the Arresting/Investigating Officer. Petitioner shall join investigation as and when called upon to do so and shall abide by the conditions as envisaged under Section 482(2) of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023. Status report in the matter be filed on 09.07.2026.”

#3. Status report by way of affidavit of HPS, ACP, Crime, District Sonipat has been filed by State of Haryana, which is taken on record. Learned State counsel submits that though, petitioner joined investigation, she did not get recovery of money effected.

#4. Pursuant to order of this Court dated 03.06.2026, petitioner has joined investigation. Benefit of anticipatory bail cannot be denied for the reason that no recovery has been effected. Considering all relevant facts and circumstances, the petition is allowed and order dated 03.06.2026, granting interim anticipatory bail to the petitioner, is made absolute, subject to the conditions laid down in Section 482(2) of Bharatiya Nagrik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), 2023.

#5. Pending miscellaneous applications, if any, stand disposed of.
