Crl.M.No.M-25616 of 2010 CRM No.M-25616 of 2010 Contends that interim bail was already granted to the petitioners by learned Sessions Judge and however, later on the same was cancelled, on the plea that petitioners did not join the investigation. Further contends that petitioners were always ready to join the investigation and, however, Sub Inspector who made complaint against the petitioners and who was also investigating this case did not allow them to join the investigation. Further contends that petitioners are ready to join the investigation. Notice of motion for 24.9.2010. However, petitioners are directed to join the investigation and in case they are arrested, they 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 petitioners that they have already joined the investigation pursuant to said order dated 01.09.2010.
