Whether Reporters of Local Newspapers may be allowed to see the judgment ? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not ? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest ? *** AJAY TEWARI, J (Oral) The petitioner seeks grant of anticipatory bail in case FIR No.222, dated 28.4.2011, registered under Sections 3/8, 5/8 of the Cow Slaughtering Act, at Police Station Nuh, District Mewat. The allegations in the FIR are that on a secret information, raid was conducted by the police in the jungle of village Ghasera and on seeing the police, the petitioner and two other co-accused ran away. It is further alleged in the FIR that 75 kgs fresh beef, two khal, one iron knife, one iron axe and one iron weighing machine were recovered from the spot. Crl.Misc No. 23375 of 2011 : 2 : Counsel for the petitioner has argued that two co-accused have been arrested and released on regular bail. He has further argued that against those two persons earlier also cases were pending but against the petitioner there is no other case pending. Counsel for the respondent, on instructions from ASI Vijay Pal Singh, has accepted these factual assertions. In these circumstances, I deem it appropriate to grant the concession of bail to the petitioner. Consequently, the petitioner is directed to appear before the Investigating Officer on 5.9.2011 and on any other day on which the Investigating Officer requires his presence, and in the event of his arrest, the petitioner shall be released on anticipatory bail to his satisfaction subject to the conditions as contained in Section 438(2) of the Cr.P.C. Petition stands disposed of. ( AJAY TEWARI ) August 24, 2011. JUDGE `kk'
