I have heard learned counsel for the parties and have gone through the whole record carefully. This Court while issuing notice of motion 02.7.2010, passed the following order:- “ Argues that it is a case of version and cross- version and injuries have also been received on the petitioner's side and hence, cross-version was also registered against the complainant-party. Further argues that four of the accused from the side of the petitioner have already been arrested and his entire Criminal Misc.No. M- 18523 of 2010 -2- family has been involved in this case. It is further contended that only simple injuries have been attributed to the petitioner. Notice of motion for 20.7.2010. 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 the petitioner has joined the investigation in pursuance of the said order. It has been stated by learned counsel for the respondent- State that the petitioner has joined the investigation and is no more required for any custodial interrogation. There are no allegations on behalf of the State that the 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. In view of these facts and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, order dated 02.7.2010, granting interim bail to the petitioner Sarwan Dass, is, hereby made absolute subject to the compliance of conditions contained in Section 438(2) Cr.P.C. The present petition stands disposed of accordingly. July 20, 2010 ( RAM CHAND GUPTA ) vj JUDGE
