Learned counsel for the complainant has vehemently opposed the bail application on the ground that the petitioner is involved in two prior cases also, hence he is not entitled to anticipatory bail. Learned Additional Advocate General, Punjab on the instructions of Chander Mohan, ASI states that the petitioner has already joined investigation. Considering totality of the facts and circumstances of the case, present petition is allowed. Order dated 27.12.2010 is made absolute, subject to the limitations provided under Section 438(2) of the Code. Petitioner – accused shall participate in the investigation as and when he is required.
