Further argues that matter was also enquired into and however, on the same facts, another complaint has been filed. Further contends that petitioner No.1 is ready to surrender and join the investigation before the Investigating Officer. Notice of motion for 1.9.2010. However, in the meantime, petitioner nos.2 to 5 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 petitioners No.2 to 5 have already joined the investigation pursuant to said order dated 11.08.2010.
