In the present FIR, it has been alleged that the petitioners had not given the due share in the property to the deceased and that being so, the deceased has committed suicide, for which abetment is to be established. The petitioners are directed to appear before the Investigating Officer on 27.5.2010 at 10.00 a.m. for joining investigation. Adjourned to 21.7.2010.

It has been stated by learned State counsel as well that the petitioners have joined the investigation and that they are no more required for any custodial interrogation by the police.

In view of these facts and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, order dated 21.5.2010, granting interim bail to petitioners-Tara Singh and Majhail Singh, is, hereby made absolute subject to the compliance of conditions contained in Section 438(2) Cr.P.C.
