Considering nature of allegations made, & particularly, the fact that even the applicant has filed some cases for check bouncing against the original Complainant, applicant's being in custody for the purpose of further investigation or trial may not be necessary. 3. The learned Counsel for the original Complainant on whose complaint an investigation has been ordered states that he has filed a Petition before this Court for getting an order that the applicant may be remanded to the police custody and the matter may come up hearing on coming Monday. Since the applicant was arrested on 18th November, 2010 and was taken in the Magistrate custody by order of the same date where the Magistrate has recorded that the learned APP fairly 3 Appln 5398-10 conceded that further police custody was not necessary, applicant was remanded to Magisterial custody.
