This Court while issuing notice of motion on 06.07.2010 passed the following order:- “Crl.M.No.31260 of 2010 Application is allowed subject to all just exceptions. Crl.M.No.M-17525 of 2010 CRM No.M-17525 of 2010 Argues that the stolen articles have already been recoverd from co-accused Rajwinder Singh @Raj Singh and that present petitioner has been falsely implicated due to party faction in the village. Notice of motion for 30.7.2010. However, petitioner is directed to join the investigation and in case he is arrested, he 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.” It has been stated by learned counsel for the petitioner that he has already joined the investigation pursuant to said order dated 06.07.2010.
