IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB AND HARYNA AT CHANDIGARH. Cr.Misc. M 6180 of 2010 Date of decision:23.7.2010 Amrik Singh & Ors Petitioner vs. State of Punjab and Ors Respondent Present: Mr. Ks Hissowal, Advocate. Mr. Ps Bajwa, DAG, Pb M.M.S.BEDI,J. The petitioners have already joined the investigation. It does not appear to be a case of custodial interrogation as the abducted victim Darbara Singh had admittedly returned back to his house with simple injuries, on the same day. Learned State counsel opposes the petition for pre-arrest bail on the ground that the car, in which Darbara Singh was abducted, is yet to be recovered. I have considered the said contention. Since two co-accused of the petitioner after having been arrested were granted bail, the necessary steps to recover the car must have been taken by the police by getting their police remand. The recovery of case property, in such circumstances, cannot be considered to refuse the concession of pre- arrest bail to the petitioners, especially when they have already joined the investigation. Accordingly, the petition is allowed and interim order dated 3.5.2010 is hereby confirmed and it is ordered that in case of arrest of the petitioners, they will be released on bail to the satisfaction of the arresting officer subject to the condition that the petitioners will join the investigation as and when required by the police and will not tamper with evidence or hamper the investigation.
