I have heard learned counsel for the parties and have gone through the whole record. This Court while issuing notice of motion on 01.07.2010 passed the following order:- “Crl.M.No.32374 of 2010 Application is allowed subject to all just exceptions. CRM No.M-18272 of 2010 Crl.M.No.M-18272 of 2010 Argues that petitioner no.2-Bheema has already been arrested in this case and hence application filed on his behalf may be dismissed as having been rendered infructuous. Ordered accordingly. Further argues that only four injuries have been suffered by the injured, one of which is only contusion, another is abrasion and other two injuries are also simple in nature. Notice of motion for 15.7.2010. However, petitioner nos.1, 3 and 4, namely, Baljinder Singh alias Billa, Beera and Kamaljit Singh are directed to join the investigation and in case they are arrested, they 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 petitioners that they have already joined the investigation pursuant to said order dated 01.07.2010. It has also been stated by learned counsel for the State that petitioner Nos.1, 3 and 4 have joined the investigation and that they are no more required for any custodial interrogation. There are no allegations on behalf of the State that petitioner Nos.1, 3 and 4 are likely to abscond or that they are 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 Baljinder Singh @Billa, Beera and Kamaljit Singh, is accepted and order dated 01.07.2010 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. 2 CRM No.M-18272 of 2010 The present petition stands disposed of accordingly.
