I have heard learned counsel for the parties and have gone through the whole record. CRM No.M-22910 of 2010 This Court while issuing notice of motion on 10.08.2010 passed the following order:- “Argues that no injury has been attributed to the petitioner, rather injury has been attributed to co-accused Sarabjit Singh and that even lalkara has been attributed to co- accused Amandeep Kaur. Notice of motion for 30.8.2010. 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 10.08.2010. It has also been stated by learned counsel for the State that petitioner has joined the investigation and that he is no more required for any custodial interrogation. There are no allegations on behalf of the State that petitioner is likely to abscond or that he is likely to dissuade the witnesses from deposing true facts in the Court, if released on bail. Hence, in view of these facts and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, the anticipatory bail application filed on behalf of Darshan Singh, is accepted and order dated 10.08.2010 granting interim bail in favour of the petitioner is, hereby, made absolute subject to compliance of conditions specified under Section 438(2) Cr.P.C. The present petition stands disposed of accordingly. ( RAM CHAND GUPTA ) August 30, 2010. JUDGE 'om' 2 CRM No.M-22910 of 2010 3
