I have heard the counsel for the parties and gone through the contents of the FIR. The interim anticipatory bail order was passed by this Court after hearing the counsel for the parties. Counsel for the petitioners contends that co-accused of the petitioners, against whom similar allegations have been levelled, has been granted anticipatory bail by this Court and even the police at one point of time had prepared the untraced report. He further contends that in terms of the interim order dated August 31, 2006, the petitioners have joined the investigation. Counsel for the respondent-State does not dispute this fact and further on instructions from ASI Gorakh Nath states that the petitioners are no more required for further investigation. In view of the above and for the reasons stated in the interim Crl.Misc.No.49303-M of 2006 -2- order dated August 31, 2006, the same is made absolute on the same terms and conditions. This bail order shall remain in operation till the investigation culminates into filing of challan under Section 173 Cr.P.C. except for material change in the circumstances. Thereafter, the petitioners shall be entitled to the grant of regular bail by the trial Court and the same shall further continue till conclusion of the trial on the conditions to be imposed by the court of competent jurisdiction.
