Crl.M.No.M-18110 of 2010 Argues that petitioner is not the person mentioned in the complaint by the complainant as Hira @ Sandeep r/o Housing Board Colony, Near Ganda Nallah, as the petitioner never resided on that address and is not called by Sandeep and that the said person might be some other person. It is further contended that no money has been paid to the petitioner by the complainant. Notice of motion for 30.7.2010. Crl.M.No.M-18110 of 2010 (O&M) -2- However, petitioner is directed to join the investigation and in case he is arrested, he 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 pursuant to the said order, the petitioner has already joined the investigation. It has been stated by learned State counsel as well that the petitioner has joined the investigation and that he is no more required for any custodial interrogation by the police.

In view of these facts and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, order dated 5.7.2010, granting interim bail to petitioner-Hira Singh, is, hereby made absolute subject to the compliance of conditions contained in Section 438(2) Cr.P.C.
