CRM-M-10531-2026 -24.

Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the petitioner has not joined the investigation due to some unavoidable circumstances.

5.

Heard.

6.

Inspite of a clear direction issued by this Court to join and cooperate with the investigation, the petitioner has failed to comply and has willfully avoided participation in the proceedings. Such conduct demonstrates a lack of bona fides and undermines the investigative process. Grant of anticipatory bail is a discretionary relief, contingent upon the applicant's willingness to cooperate with law enforcement; the petitioner's non-compliance reflects an attempt to evade due process. In these circumstances, no ground is made out for extending the extraordinary protection of anticipatory bail, and the petition is accordingly dismissed.
