She is likely to be arrested from soon.
The HC had reserved its order on January 30.
Justice J B Pardiwala had reserved the order on the bail petitions filed by Setalwad, Anand, Tanvir Jafri (whose father Ehsan Jafri, former Congress MP, was killed during the riots) and Firoz Gulzar, a resident of Gulberg Society here.
They are accused of misusing funds to the tune of Rs 1.51 crore.
Setalwad, who has been espousing the cause of the victims of 2002 Gujarat riots, and others, have contended that the case was filed against them with political motives and they had not misused the funds.
On March 25, last year, the sessions court had rejected their pre-arrest bail applications.
The crime branch had registered a first information report last January against Setalvad and others for allegedly usurping the money collected by them for building a riots museum at the society. The plan to build a museum was cancelled later.
Twelve residents of the society had alleged that Setalvad embezzled the funds.
Sixty-nine people, including Ehsan Jafri, were killed in a mob's attack on the society on February 28, 2002, following the Godhra train burning incident.
