2. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Additional Public Prosecutor appearing for the respondent Police and perused the materials available on record.
3. The learned counsel for the petitioner contends that the petitioner's husband was doing business and relating to the same, it seems that the third party has given a 2/5
complaint on the file of the first respondent police. Upon which, there is an imminent threat of arrest. Hence, the petitioner intends to approach the appropriate jurisdictional court with appropriate relief so as to enable her to approach the appropriate court by way of interim relief, she has approached this Court by way of interstate anticipatory bail.
4. In view thereof, notice was issued to the first respondent police. Even though notice has been served, nobody is appearing on behalf of the first respondent.
5. The imminent threat, which is expressed on behalf of the petitioner, and considering the nature of allegations in this case relating to the investment of the money of the defacto complainant and considering the fact that a breathing time can be given to the petitioner to approach the jurisdictional court by way of filing an appropriate anticipatory bail application or to surrender before the concerned court and come out on bail, this Court is inclined to grant interstate interim anticipatory bail to the petitioner for a period of three weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order to enable him to move to the concerned Court.
6. Accordingly, interim interstate anticipatory bail is granted to the petitioner 3/5
for a period of three weeks, on condition that the petitioner shall surrender before the second respondent police within a period of fifteen days from the date on which the order copy made ready and the petitioner shall execute a bond for a sum of Rs.20,000/- (Rupees Twenty Thousand only) to the satisfaction of the second respondent Police. Further, within three weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order, the petitioner shall approach the competent Court at Mumbai and seek appropriate relief.
7. The order granted by this court shall remain in force for a period of three weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order or until such time regular orders are passed by the appropriate Court, whichever is earlier.
8. With the above direction, this Criminal Original Petition is disposed of. sd/- 03/10/2024 / TRUE COPY / /10/2024 Sub-Assistant Registrar (CS-I/II/III/IV) Madurai Bench of Madras High Court, Madurai - 625 023.
