Badshahpur, District Gurgaon. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and have gone through the whole record. This Court while issuing notice of motion on 23.03.2010 passed the following order:- “Crl.M.No.15698 of 2010 Application is allowed subject to all just exceptions. CRM No.M-8696 of 2010 Crl.M.No.M 8696 of 2010 Heard. Argues that dispute between the parties is civil in nature and civil suit is already pending. Further argues that offence under Section 427 IPC is a bailable one and that petitioner has been falsely implicated for offence under Section 506 IPC. Notice of motion for 4.5.2010. 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 petitioner has already joined the investigation pursuant to said order dated 23.03.2010. It has also been stated by learned counsel for the State that petitioner has joined the investigation and that he is not required for any custodial interrogation. There are no allegations on behalf of the State that petitioner is likely to abscond or that he is 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 by Rajinder Singh Gandhi is accepted and order dated 23.03.2010 granting interim bail in his favour is, hereby, made absolute subject to compliance of conditions specified under Section 438(2) Cr.P.C. The present petition stands disposed of accordingly. ( RAM CHAND GUPTA ) 2 CRM No.M-8696 of 2010 May 4, 2010. JUDGE 'om' 3
