While issuing notice of motion on January 8, 2007, the arrest of the petitioners was stayed subject to their joining the investigation. I have heard the counsel for the parties and gone through the contents of the FIR. Counsel for the petitioners contends that the petitioners, who are father-in-law and mother-in-law of the complainant, have been falsely implicated in the aforesaid case. He further contends that after the arrest of the husband, all the dowry articles have been recovered. Counsel for the petitioners contends that in terms of the interim order dated January 8, 2007, the petitioners have joined the investigation. This fact has not been disputed by the State counsel and he further on instructions from HC Gurdip Singh states that the petitioners are no more required for further investigation as the husband has already been arrested and released on regular bail. In view of the above, the interim order dated January 8, 2007 is Crl.Misc.No.81689-M of 2006 -2- made absolute on the same terms and conditions. Disposed of accordingly.
