Court dated 13.05.2025 rendered in SLP (Crl) No. 5406 of
2025 titled as “Ankita Godara vs. State of Rajasthan” by
which the co-accused stood already granted bail, we are
of the considered view that the petitioner has made out
2 SLP (Crl.) No.8805/2025
a case for interference with the impugned order dated
19.05.2025.
8. In view of the above, more so when the investigation
is complete and the challan stands filed, we are inclined
to grant interim bail to the petitioner on such terms and
conditions as may be fixed by the Trial Court. Ordered
accordingly.
9. It goes without saying that the accused, would fully
co-operate during the trial for ensuring its expeditious
adjudication.
10. Needless to add, the petitioner would maintain good
conduct and not endeavour to influence any of the
witnesses, in any manner, till the completion of the trial.
11. Under no circumstances, petitioner shall seek any un-
warranted adjournment during trial.
