I have heard learned counsel for the parties and have gone through the whole record. This Court while issuing notice of motion on 27.07.2010 passed the following order:- “Crl.M.No.37684 of 2010 Application is allowed subject to all just exceptions. CRM No.M-21292 of 2010 Crl.M.No.M-21292 of 2010 Argues that petitioner has not been named in the FIR. Further argues that petitioner has not taken any money and rather, the transaction had taken place between husband, sons and daughter-in-law of the petitioner. Notice of motion for 19.8.2010. However, petitioner is directed to join the investigation and in case she is arrested, she 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 petitioner that she has already joined the investigation pursuant to said order dated 27.07.2010. It has also been stated by learned counsel for the State that petitioner has joined the investigation and that she is no more required for any custodial interrogation. There are no allegations on behalf of the State that petitioner is likely to abscond or that she is likely to dissuade the witnesses from deposing true facts in the Court, if released on bail. Hence, in view of these facts and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, the anticipatory bail application filed on behalf of Swaran Kaur, is accepted and order dated 27.07.2010 granting interim bail in favour of the petitioner is, hereby, made absolute subject to compliance of conditions specified under Section 438(2) Cr.P.C. The present petition stands disposed of accordingly. ( RAM CHAND GUPTA ) August 19, 2010. JUDGE 'om' 2
