This is an application for anticipatory bail by a lawyer, who has been accused of having murdered his alleged mistress. Notice was issued way back on 17-1-2009. In the meantime, the non-applicant/State has filed reply and the learned APP has also made available for my perusal the case diary, which shows that investigation has made substantial progress indicating, according to the learned APP, involvement of the applicant in the crime. 2. The learned counsel for the applicant states that custodial interrogation of the applicant may not be necessary if the applicant volunteers to submit himself to Narco analysis test at his own costs. 3. In view of this, the learned APP states that it may not be necessary to subject the applicant to custodial interrogation. 4. The application is, therefore, allowed. In the event of arrest of the applicant, the applicant be released on bail on 2 his furnishing a PR bond of Rs.50,000/- with one solvent surety in the like amount on the conditions that the applicant shall deposit with the Sessions Court a tentative sum of Rs.10,000/- towards the charges of Narco analysis test with an undertaking to make up the defeciency, if any, within a period of one week from today; that the applicant shall appear before the Investigating Officer on 16-3-2009 and thereafter as when required by the Investigating Officer and shall co-operate with the Investigating Officer in the matter of investigation; and that the applicant shall also report at the Medical Centre where the State, if it so chooses, propose to subject the applicant to Narco analysis test. 5. If the Investigating Officer decides not to subject the applicant to Narco analysis test, then the amount so deposited by the applicant shall be refunded to him. 6. The applicant shall scrupulously follow the aforesaid conditions and shall keep himself away from the witnesses. 7. If the applicant is found to have breached any of the conditions, then the State is free to approach this Court for cancellation of bail. 8. Hamdast granted. JUDGE pdl
