Murthal, District Sonipat. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and have gone through the whole record. It has been stated by learned counsel for the petitioner that he has been falsely involved in this case and that in fact, co-accused Sanjay and Kartik employed as Manager and Munim, respectively with the CRM No. M-6174 of 2010 complainant’s company, have been arrested and part recovery of stolen articles has also been effected from them. It has been stated by learned State counsel that petitioner be directed to join the investigation and that he is not required for any custodial interrogation by the police.

Hence, in view of these facts and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, the anticipatory bail application filed by Poonam Chand is accepted. However, he is directed to join the investigation and in case of his arrest, he shall be released on bail by the Arresting Officer to his satisfaction subject to compliance of conditions specified under Section 438 (2) Cr.P.C. The present petition stands disposed of accordingly. ( RAM CHAND GUPTA ) April 22, 2010. JUDGE 'om' 2
