I have heard learned counsel for the parties and have gone through the whole record. This Court while issuing notice of motion on 25.03.2010 passed the following order:- “Crl.M.No.15854 of 2010 Application is allowed subject to all just exceptions. CRM No.M-8779 of 2010 Crl.M.No.M 8779 of 2010 Argues that petitioners are parents-in-law of the complainant and that husband of the complainant has already been arrested and all the alleged dowry articles recovered and admitted to bail. Hence, it is contended that nothing is to be recovered from the present petitioners-accused. Notice of motion for 7.5.2010. 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 petitioners have already joined the investigation pursuant to said order dated 25.03.2010. It has also been stated by learned counsel for the State that petitioners have joined the investigation and that they are no more required for any 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 Majru and Smt. Gafoondi is accepted and order dated 25.03.2010 granting interim bail in favour of the petitioners is, hereby, made absolute subject to compliance of conditions specified under Section 438(2) Cr.P.C. The present petition stands disposed of accordingly. 2 CRM No.M-8779 of 2010 ( RAM CHAND GUPTA ) May 7, 2010. JUDGE 'om' 3
