Mr. K.D.Sachdeva, Addl.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.80 dated 07.05.2010, under Sections 307/326/336/323/324/148/149 IPC and Section 25 of Arms Act, 1959, registered at Police Station Dhariwal, District Gurdaspur. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and have gone through the whole record. This Court while issuing notice of motion on 02.08.2010 passed the following order:- “Crl.M.No.38237 of 2010 CRM No.M-21573 of 2010 Application is allowed subject to all just exceptions. Crl.M.No.M-21573 of 2010 Argues that no injury has been attributed to the present petitioner and that it is a case of version and cross-version and that cross case under Sections 307/324/323/148/149 IPC has also been registered against the complainant party. It is further contended that co-accused has already been granted concession of interim bail by this Court in Crl.Misc. No.M-19267 of 2010. Notice of motion for 25.08.2010. However, petitioner is directed to join the investigation and in case he is arrested, he 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. To be heard alongwith Crl.Misc.No.M-19267 of 2010.” It has been stated by learned counsel for the petitioners that they have already joined the investigation pursuant to said order dated 02.08.2010. 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 Ajay Singh, Baljit Singh and Amarjit Singh, is accepted and order dated 02.08.2010 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-21573 of 2010 ( RAM CHAND GUPTA ) September 14, 2010. JUDGE 'om' 3
