This Court while issuing notice of motion on 27.5.2010, passed the following order: “Crl.M.No.28996 of 2010 Application is allowed subject to all just exceptions. Crl.M.No.M-16099 of 2010 Heard. Argues that petitioners are relatives of Kulwant Singh, Panch of the village, who tried to stop the complainant from creating nuisance in the market and who also gave representation to SHO against the complainant as he was trying to dig the earth in front of his shop for the purpose of creating a latrine tank and hence due to that grudge the present false Crl.M.No.M-16099 of 2010 (O&M) -2- complaint has been lodged by the complainant against the present petitioners without any basis. Notice of motion for 1.7.2010. However, petitioners are directed to join the investigation and in case they are arrested, they shall be released on interim bail by the Arresting Officer to his satisfaction subject to compliance of conditions specified under Section 438(2) Cr.P.C.” It has been stated by learned counsel for the petitioners that pursuant to the said order, the petitioners have already joined the investigation. It has been stated by learned State counsel as well, on instructions from Tarlochan Singh, ASI, that the petitioners have joined the investigation and that they are no more required for any custodial interrogation by the police. There are no allegations on behalf of the State that petitioners are likely to abscond or that they are likely to dissuade the witnesses from deposing true facts in the Court, if released on bail. In view of these facts and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, order dated 27.5.2010, granting interim bail to petitioners-Kashmir Singh, Kulwinder Singh alias Bittu and Guljinder Singh @ Laddi, is, hereby confirmed subject to the compliance of conditions contained in Section 438(2) Cr.P.C. The present petition stands disposed of accordingly. 1.7.2010 (Ram Chand Gupta) meenu Judge
