Mr. Jaspreet Singh, learned Assistant Advocate General, Punjab, on the instructions of ASI Harbhajan Singh, states that no payment was handed over to the present petitioners. It is further stated that amount of Rs.2,50,000/- was paid to Satnam Singh in the office of CRM No. M-37612 of 2010 -2- the petitioners. Merely because payment was made in the office of the petitioners, custodial interrogation of the petitioners seems to be unjustified. Considering totality of the facts and circumstances of the case, petition is allowed. Order dated 22.12.2010 is made absolute, subject to the conditions mentioned under Section 438(2) Cr.P.C. However, it is clarified that petitioners shall keep on co-operating in the investigation and if they fail to do so, Investigating Officer shall be at liberty to get the bail cancelled.
