This Court while issuing notice of motion on 18.11.2010 passed the following order:- “Crl.M.No.60225 of 2010 Application is allowed subject to all just exceptions. CRM No.M-33901 of 2010 Crl.M.No.M-33901 of 2010 Contends that only simple injuries have been attributed to petitioner-accused and that too on non-vital part, i.e., thumb of injured Kanwaljit Singh. Further contends that at the time of arguments before learned Additional Sessions Judge, in bail application filed on behalf of the co-accused, statement was given by the complainant-injured that non injury was caused to him by co-accused Major Singh and the present petitioner-Baljit Singh. Notice of motion for 8.12.2010. 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 18.11.2010. 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 Baljit Singh is accepted and order dated 18.11.2010 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. 2 CRM No.M-33901 of 2010 ( RAM CHAND GUPTA ) December 8, 2010. JUDGE 'om' 3
