¶10

The first informant lodged report with the allegations that on 5^th February, 2023 Shamshuddin Virani, the accused No. 1, extorted a sum of Rs. 40 lakhs by dishonestly retaining the said amount, Shamshuddin Virani and the co-accused Sunny Yadav threatened the first informant with dire consequences if 50% partnership in the Fisheries contract, awarded to the first informant, was not given to them and thereby extorted an amount

of Rs. 3 lakhs.

Prima facie, the role attributed to the applicant appears to be that of being a confederate in the conspiracy to extort the amount from the first informant. The allegations in the first information report do not indicate that the applicant had either made any call to the first informant on 5^th February, 2023 or took any part in the incident which occurred on that day. The allegations are primarily against Shamshuddin Virani and Sunny Yadav.

¶16

By an order dated 31^st March, 2023 this Court was persuaded to grant interim protection. At this length of time, there does not seem any necessity of custodial interrogation of the applicant. I am, therefore, inclined to exercise the discretion in favour of the applicant.

¶17
