Mr.N.S.Gill, AAG, Punjab. ... Petitioner Darshan Singh apprehending his arrest in a non- bailable offence in case FIR No.196 dated 14.12.2006 registered under Sections 498-A/406/506 IPC at Police Station Sadar Kotkapura, has filed this petition under Section 438 Cr.P.C. for grant of anticipatory bail. While issuing notice of motion on December 22, 2006, arrest of the petitioner was stayed subject to his joining the investigation. I have heard the counsel for the parties. Counsel for the petitioner contends that the petitioner, who is uncle of the husband of the sister of the complainant and is residing separately from the family of his brother, has been falsely implicated in this case because of her relationship with the husband of the sister of the complainant. Counsel further contends that in terms of the interim order dated December 22, 2006, the petitioner has joined the investigation. Counsel for the respondent-State does not dispute this fact and further on instructions from ASI Harbans Singh states that the petitioner is no more required for further investigation as some of the dowry articles have been recovered from him. In view of the above, the interim order dated December 22, Crl.Misc.No.81287-M of 2006 -2- 2006 is made absolute on the same terms and conditions. Disposed of accordingly.
