RESPONDENT CORAM:- HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE RAM CHAND GUPTA Present: Mr. Sarfraj Hussain, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Vikas Malik, A.A.G., Haryana. ***** RAM CHAND GUPTA, J.(Oral) The present petition has been filed by Akbar for anticipatory bail under Section 438 of Code of Criminal Procedure in FIR No.271 dated 03.08.2009, under Sections 4A/8, 2/80 of Punjab Prohibition of Cow Slaughter Act, 1955, registered at P.S. Punhana, District Mewat. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and have gone through the whole record. This Court while issuing notice of motion on 05.03.2010 passed the following order:- CRM No.M-6535 of 2010 “Argues that petitioner has been involved in this case just on the statement of co-accused and that he was not identified by anybody. Notice of motion for 08.04.2010. 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 appeared before learned trial Court pursuant to said order and he has been released on interim bail by learned trial. It is further contended that petitioner will continue to appear before learned trial Court. Learned counsel for the State has not disputed these facts. 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 Akbar is accepted and order dated 05.03.2010 granting interim bail to the petitioner, is hereby made absolute subject to any conditions that may be imposed by learned trial Court. The present petition stands disposed of accordingly. ( RAM CHAND GUPTA ) April 8, 2010. JUDGE 'om' 2
