No directions for recovery of articles or seizing of passport need be given while dealing with application for anticipatory bail
As rightly submitted by learned counsel for the appellant the High Court seems to have completely acted on materials
which do not support the conclusions. By way of illustration, it can be said that the appellant was not serving as an
inspector but was a constable who had retired about a decade back. Therefore the conclusion of the High Court that she
was in a position to make the investigation ineffective does not have any foundation. The other directions given like
recovery of dowry articles etc. need not have been given while dealing with anapplication under Section 438 Cr.P.C.
filed by her. The directions for seizing the appellant\'s passport also could not have been given a petition under Section
438 Cr.P.C. filed by her.
