Heard learned Advocate Mr Tilve for the Applicant and the learned APP Mrs Sangit for the Respondent/State.

2.

My attention is drawn at the very outset to an order dated 09 May 2025. The Applicant has been protected by the said order inter alia by the terms and conditions, which are elaborately spelt out in paragraph No.5 of the said order. Pursuant thereto, the matter has appeared today. 3.

Mrs Sangit has taken instructions from the concerned Investigating Officer. She would submit that the Applicant has cooperated with the investigation. There is no breach or non-compliance of the order dated 09 May

( 2 ) 2025. This would mean that the Applicant has joined the investigation. There is no prima facie material placed on record by the prosecution against the Applicant after the order dated 09 May 2025. The Applicant has further undertaken to continue cooperation with the investigation. It also appears that investigation has sufficiently progressed. In such view, physical custody of the Applicant at this stage would not be necessary. Considering the given factual matrix, it would be just and proper to Confirm the Interim Order of this Court dated 09 May 2025. The following order would meet the needs of justice:-
