It has been informed by the State counsel that an inquiry by S.P.(City-II) is still under investigation. In view of the fact that the petitioners have already joined the investigation and an inquiry is still pending, they can be granted the concession of pre-arrest bail. Cr.Misc. NO.M 32332 of 2008 2 Accordingly, the petitions are allowed and it is ordered that in case of arrest of the petitioners, they will be admitted to bail to the satisfaction of the arresting officer subject to the condition that they will appear before the investigating officer as and when required by the police and will not tamper with evidence or hamper the investigation at any stage. A further condition is imposed upon the petitioners that they will not indulge in any such activities of which they are accused of during the pendency of the trial. In case of any such eventuality, it will be open to the complainant or the prosecution agency to seek cancellation of bail. February 16 ,2009 ( M.M.S.BEDI ) TSM JUDGE
