It is contended that the admissibility of such evidence is highly doubtful. Learned State Counsel on instructions from SI Joginder Singh concedes that there is no other case of similar nature pending against the petitioner and he was not apprehended from the spot. He also states that petitioner has joined the investigation and is no longer required for custodial interrogation. In view of the above, interim protection/bail granted vide order dated 01st of September, 2010 is made absolute. Petition stands disposed of. ( JASWANT SINGH ) JUDGE 01st October, 2010 Vinay
