The HC granted anticipatory bail to applicants charged with forgery and misappropriation of shares in a closely-held family company. The complainant alleged unauthorized transfer of her shares to her husband without consent or proper documentation. The court noted significant delay in filing the FIR, registered in March 2025 for incidents occurring in July 2022, amid ongoing matrimonial disputes including proceedings under the Domestic Violence Act, divorce, and maintenance matters since 2020. The investigation relied entirely on documentary evidence already available to the investigating officer, including board resolutions and share transfer forms. Since applicants denied executing the disputed Form SH-4 and provided justification for transfers, which were subsequently reversed, the court found no necessity for custodial interrogation. Bail was granted on personal bonds of Rs. 1,00,000 each with two sureties and cooperation conditions.
