The couple was arrested at their Mumbai residence on December 7 last year.

The couple was taken to Rajasthan after their arrest where the complaint was registered.

Observing that the case essentially stemmed from a commercial transaction between the parties, a Bench headed by the Chief Justice of India (CJI) set aside the Rajasthan High Court’s January 31 order, which had rejected the couple’s bail pleas.
