RESPONDENT (s) CORAM:- HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE RAM CHAND GUPTA Present: Mr. Sanjiv Gupta, Advocate for the petitioners. Mr. Shilesh Gupta., D.A.G., Punjab. ***** RAM CHAND GUPTA, J.(Oral) The present petition has been filed for anticipatory bail under Section 438 of Code of Criminal Procedure in FIR No.120 dated 08.04.2011 under Sections 406/420/379 IPC, registered at Police Station Tripuri, Patiala. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and have gone through the whole record. It has been stated by learned counsel for the State that petitioners have already joined the investigation pursuant to interim order of stay granted CRM NO.M-15076 of 2011 by learned Additional Sessions Judge, Patiala. Further contended that petitioners are no more required for custodial interrogation. There are no allegations on behalf of the State that petitioners are likely to abscond or that they are 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 Ajmer Singh, Jagdeep Singh, Gursewak Singh is accepted. Petitioners are directed to join the investigation and in case of their arrest, they 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 ) May 31, 2011. JUDGE 'om' 2
