Inter alia contends that the dispute between the parties has since been resolved amicably, which is substantial change of circumstance post 30.09.2025 when the earlier plea for anticipatory bail, before this Court, was declined on merits thereof; no effective recovery is to be made from the petitioner; & the petitioner is willing to join investigation and cooperate therein.

Notice of motion.
