While issuing notice of motion on 13.2.2007, the arrest of the petitioners was stayed subject to their joining the investigation. I have heard the counsel for the parties and gone through the contents of the FIR. Counsel for the petitioners contends that there was an earlier dispute between the petitioners and the complainant regarding construction of one room. In this regard, the petitioners had lodged a complaint against the complainant which was settled with the intervention of respectables. Now the present FIR has been lodged falsely by implicating all the family members of the petitioners. Counsel for the petitioners further contends that in terms of the interim order dated 13.2.2007, the petitioners have joined the investigation. This fact has not been disputed by the State counsel and he further states that the petitioners are no more required for further investigation.
