As per allegations in the FIR lodged by complainant-Naresh Gupta, the stand of B.S. Fasteners initially in the suit filed by M/s S.S.

Thus, the allegation was that the complainant had been cheated. This Court vide its order dated 11.10.2010 had granted interim protection to petitioner Nos.3 & 4, who are wives of petitioner Nos.1 & 2 respectively and the sleeping partners of the firm-B.S. Fasteners and as such Crl.M.No.30120-M of 2010 #2# had no role in the running affairs of the firm. Learned state counsel, on instructions from ASI Sohan Singh, states that petitioner Nos.3 & 4 have joined investigation and their custodial interrogation is no longer required. In view of the above, interim protection/bail granted vide order dated 11.10.2010 is made absolute. Petition stands disposed of. December 13, 2010 ( JASWANT SINGH ) manoj JUDGE
