On 16.09.2011 the following contention was noticed:- “Learned counsel has argued that as per the reply filed by the prosecution to the application for anticipatory bail it is clear that they claim to have all the requisite evidence in the shape of documents and in these circumstances there would be no justification for the custodial interrogation of the petitioner. ” Learned Deputy Advocate General on instructions from S.I. Pritpal has stated that when the petitioner was subsequently arrested in FIR No.2 dated 03.03.2011, during that investigation he remained in custody for almost 10 days and during that period he disclosed other assets which were created during the same Check period. He has however not denied the assertion that in the reply filed to the anticipatory bail application the prosecution has taken the stand that they had all the evidence in the shape of documents. Crl. Misc. No.M-28315 of 2011 (O&M) -2- Keeping in mind all the facts, without going into the merit of the case, I deem it appropriate to release the petitioner on bail to the satisfaction of the Investigating Officer.
