This matter was heard at length on 05.11.2024, when after considering the circumstances obtaining in the matter (as also detailed in the said order), this court had granted to the petitioner interim protection against coercive measures subject to the petitioner depositing a sum of Rs.75 lacs by way of a fixed deposit in the name of the Registrar General of this court and subject to her joining investigation as and when called by written notice duly served upon her by the Investigating Officer.
