OFFICE NOTE 05.

27.01.2025 SKS, J I.A.No.1 of 2025 This Interlocutory Application is filed seeking the Court to relax the condition No.2 passed in Crl.P.No.15781 of 2024, dated 02.01.2025.

Heard learned counsel for the petitioner.

Learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that petitioner Nos.1 and 2/accused No.1 and 2, are permanent residents of New Delhi and Chennai, respectively, with strong family and professional ties in their cities and that accused No.1 works as the head of collections at Resilient Digi Services Private Limited (BharatPe Money) in Delhi-NCR, while Accused No. 2 oversees collections for South India operations in Chennai. He further submitted that both petitioner Nos.1 and 2 have no prior criminal records and are struggling to manage their personal and professional lives due to the case, which has also taken a toll on their family members' health, including Accused No.1's father-in-law, a heart patient, and Accused No.2's wife, a severe asthmatic. Therefore, he prayed the Court to relax condition No.2 passed in the above criminal petition.

In the light of the submissions made by the learned counsel for the petitioner, this Court is inclined to modify the order dated 02.01.2025 passed in Crl.P.No.15781 of 2024, i.e., condition No.1 that "the petitioners/A.1 to A.4 shall appear before the concerned SHO at 11:00 a.m., on every Monday for a period of eight (8) weeks, for the purpose of investigation till filing of charge sheet, and thereafter, as and when required" to that of "the petitioner Nos.3 and 4/accused Nos.3 and 4 shall appear before the concerned SHO at 11:00 a.m., on every Monday for a period of eight (8) weeks, for the purpose of investigation till filing of charge sheet, and thereafter, as and when required". Further, as the petitioner Nos.1 and 2/accused Nos.1 and 2 are the permanent residents of New Delhi and Chennai, respectively, condition No.2 against them is relaxed. Accordingly, this Interlocutory Application is allowed-in-part.
