The HC granted anticipatory bail to the applicant accused of extortion and GST evasion, finding the FIR to be motivated by personal vendetta and internal company disputes. The applicant, employed as a receptionist with no direct involvement in the alleged offenses and no recoverable material, was deemed not requiring custodial interrogation. The Court emphasized the applicant's willingness to cooperate and join the investigation as directed. Bail was allowed on the condition that the applicant executes personal or surety bonds and joins the investigation within one week, thereby avoiding unnecessary harassment and ensuring compliance with the investigative process.
