Summary: On February 4, 2026, the Delhi High Court allowed Preeti Aggarwal and Saurav Aggarwal to be released from jail while awaiting trial in a case involving bounced checks related to dairy and dry fruits transactions.
The case began with a joint complaint by Abhishek and Saurabh Goel. They had business dealings with Preeti Aggarwal and Saurav Aggarwal, mainly involving dairy products. According to the complaint, the Aggarwals borrowed money from Abhishek and partially paid it back. However, problems started when some checks bounced, leading to legal action under the laws that deal with checks.
The court noted that while bank statements showed payments for dairy products, the police report didn't mention these transactions. The Aggarwals also supposedly received dry fruits from Saurabh Goel, but the payment checks bounced, leading to more legal trouble.
Even though they participated in the investigation, Preeti Aggarwal and Saurav Aggarwal were accused of avoiding questions and not providing documents about the dry fruits sale or the rent agreement for their business location. The prosecution admitted that the Aggarwals paid Rs. 2,66,00,000 to the complainants, leaving Rs. 1,31,00,000 unpaid. However, the money they paid wasn't related to the current case.
Justice Girish Kathpalia decided that Preeti Aggarwal and Saurav Aggarwal should not be kept in jail. The court allowed them to be released on bail, requiring them to pay a bond of Rs. 50,000 each. The judge emphasized that this decision should not influence the outcome of the investigation.
Preeti Aggarwal and Saurav Aggarwal are expected to cooperate with the investigation as instructed, but the final result of the trial is still undecided.
