Involvement of applicant No.2 in the present crime - HELD THAT:- Upon perusal of the statement of applicant No.2 it would reveal that she has signed the balance sheet of the company, invoices, RTGS documents, and Cheques. This goes to suggest prima facie involvement of applicant No.2 in the business of the Company. Thus, I do not find merit in the submission of the learned advocate for the applicants.
