Mr. P.M.Anand, Addl.A.G., Haryana. *** RAM CHAND GUPTA, J.(Oral) The present petition has been filed by Sahi Ram Rawat for anticipatory bail under Section 438 of Cr.P.C. in FIR No.497 dated 26.09.2009 under Sections 177/420 IPC and under Section 125 of the Representation of People Act, 1951 registered at P.S. Central Faridabad, Haryana. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and have gone through the whole record. This Court while issuing notice of motion on 19.01.2010 passed the following order:- “Notice of motion for 02.03.2010. However, in the meantime, if the petitioner is arrested, he shall be released on interim bail by the Arresting Officer to the satisfaction of Arresting Officer subject to compliance of conditions specified under Section 438(2) Cr.P.C.” It has been stated by ld. counsel for the petitioner that petitioner has already joined the investigation in pursuance of said order dated 19.01.2010 and that he is no more required for any interrogation. It has also been stated by ld. counsel for the State that petitioner has joined the investigation and that he is no more required for any custodial interrogation. 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 Sahi Ram Rawat is accepted and interim order dated 19.01.2010, is hereby confirmed subject to compliance of conditions laid down in Section 438(2) Cr.P.C. The present petition stands disposed of accordingly. ( RAM CHAND GUPTA ) March 2, 2010. JUDGE 'om'
