seized by the investigating agency during the course of investigation. The allegations are primarily against the husband of the applicant. The aspect of the end-use of the amount which came to be credited to the account of the applicant can be investigated by directing the applicant to join in the investigation. I am, therefore, persuaded to exercise the discretion in favour of the applicant.

The learned APP submits that the applicant has appeared before the investigating officer in terms of the aforesaid order and cooperated with the investigation.

¶17

In view of the aforesaid statement and for the reasons which weighed with this Court in granting interim bail, I am impelled to make the order of interim bail absolute.
