This is a petition seeking to quash an order under Section 156(3) of the Cr.P.C. In my view, it is open for the police to investigate the allegations mentioned in the complaint. The Advocate for the petitioner states that some time may be granted to the petitioner to apply for anticipatory bail. This request is made as earlier the police had investigated the matter and not found any offence against the petitioner. Without going into the merits, it is directed that the :2: petitioner may not be arrested till 20.2.2006. It is made clear that mere grant of protection by this court till 20.2.2006 will not be a ground for grant of anticipatory or regular bail and if any application for anticipatory or regular bail is made, the same may be decided on its own merits. With the above directions petition is disposed off. (R. S. MOHITE, J.)
