Heard Mr. Thakur appearing for the applicant and Mr. Hingorani, A.P.P. for the State. 2. This Court had passed an order on 7th August, 2006 granting time to the A.P.P. to take instructions, in the meanwhile, issuing direction not to arrest the applicant. 3. After one week also the A.P.P. sought time to file reply. The matter has appeared today after two adjournments but I am informed that A.P.P. has not been able to get instructions because the concerned Investigating Officer has not attended his office. The [2] F.I.R. is registered in 2002. Both sides informed that the charge sheet is already filed. In such circumstances, ends of justice would meet, if the direction not to arrest the applicant issued on 7th August, 20006 is continued for a period of two weeks to enable the applicant to apply for bail before the regular Court. 4. In the meanwhile, the applicant shall report to the concerned police station once in a week between 10 to 12 noon. All contentions of both sides on merit are kept open. ( S.C. DHARMADHIKARI, J.)
