I have heard learned counsel for the parties and have gone through the whole record carefully. This Court while issuing notice of motion on 28.5.2010 passed the following order:- “Crl.M.No.29420 of 2010 Application is allowed subject to all just exceptions. Crl.M.No.29421 of 2010 Application is allowed subject to all just exceptions. Crl.M.No.M 16392 of 2010 Argues that petitioners are government servant, and that they have been falsely implicated in this case. Notice of motion for 05.07.2010. CRM No.M 16392 of 2010 -2- However, in the meantime, petitioners are directed to join the investigation and in case they are arrested, they 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. They are directed to join the investigation on 07.06.2010 at 10.00 AM.” It has been stated by learned counsel for the petitioners that they have already joined the investigation pursuant to said order dated 28.5.2010. It has also been stated by learned counsel for the State that petitioners have joined the investigation and that they are no more required for any custodial interrogation. There are no allegations on behalf of the State that petitioners are likely to abscond or that they are 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 on behalf of petitioners Bhupinder Singh and Rajinder Singh is accepted and order dated 28.5.2010 granting interim bail in favour of the petitioners is, hereby, made absolute subject to compliance of conditions specified under Section 438(2) Cr.P.C.
