ORDER :
1. Permission to file SLP(Crl.) Diary No(s). 36032/2023 is granted.
2. Leave granted.
3. Seeking anticipatory bail for the offences punishable under Sections 406, 420, 120-B and 506(1) of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 (for short, ‘the IPC’), the present appeals have been filed by the appellants in SLP(Crl.) No.10817/2023 and SLP(Crl.) No. 10883/2023, who are the father-in-law of the de-facto complainant and the General Manager of the Company.
4. The SLP(Crl.) Diary No(s).36032/2023 has been filed by the de-facto complainant, challenging the anticipatory bail granted to his mother-in-law.
5. Though arguments have been made at length, what is not in dispute is that a sum of Rs.12.5 crores have already been paid on behalf of the appellant, namely, the father-in-law of the de-facto complainant to him. We have also been informed that the remaining amount has not been paid, which the learned senior counsel appearing for the appellants submits that they are unable to do so.
6. On a perusal of the complaint and taking note of the ousting relationship between the parties, we are of the view that the custodial interrogation of the appellants is not required.
7. In such view of the matter, we
Anticipatory bail granted when custodial interrogation is not required, considering the payment made and the relationship between parties.
