HC granted anticipatory bail in a tax fraud case, finding custodial interrogation unwarranted. The court determined that pre-trial incarceration was unnecessary given the petitioner's asset declaration and potential for recovery through legal means. Bail was conditionally granted, requiring the petitioner to join the investigation within seven days, cooperate fully with investigating authorities, and comply with specified terms. The court emphasized preventing irreversible injustice while maintaining investigative integrity. The petitioner must submit to deemed custody, participate in the investigation when summoned, and risk bail cancellation for non-compliance. The order underscores judicial discretion in balancing investigative needs with individual liberty rights.
