Criminal Misc. No.M-29949 of 2015 [2] registered on the basis of application given by Mr. S.K. Garg, Branch Manager, United Bank of India. The case of the prosecution is that Rahish Khan, proprietor of M/s A.D.N. Engineering Works took a loan of `7 Lacs from the Bank and hypothecated the stock of iron angles etc. with the Bank. The allegation against present petitioner Noor Jahan is that she is wife of Rahish Khan and she stood guarantor and deposited the title deeds of the properties, but she sold the properties. The petitioner has already joined the investigation. She is not required for custodial interrogation. Nothing is to be recovered from her. The case is based on documentary evidence. No useful purpose will be served by sending the petitioner to custody.

Keeping in view the facts and circumstances of the present case; without discussing the facts in minute detail and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, I find merit in this petition and the same is allowed. The interim order dated 4.9.2015 passed by this Court granting interim bail to the petitioner is made absolute. However, the petitioner shall join the investigation as and when called upon to do so and shall abide by the conditions of Section 438 (2) Cr.P.C. October 9, 2015.
