(ORAL) This petition has been filed under Section 438 Cr.P.C. for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner in case F.I.R. No.68 dated 17.03.2010 registered under Sections 420, 417, 406, 506, 190, 120-B IPC at Police Station Taraori, Karnal. On 11.05.2011 the following order was passed:- “This petition has been filed under Section 438 Cr.P.C. for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner in case F.I.R. No.68 dated 17.3.2010 registered under Sections 420, 417, 406, 506, 190, 120-B IPC at Police Station Taraori, Karnal. Learned counsel for the petitioner has argued that in fact the petitioner has not issued any cheque and if he is given interim protection he can convince the investigating officer about the same. I find this to be a fair request. In the circumstances, the petitioner is directed to appear before the investigating officer on 20.05.2011 between 10 A.M. to 4 P.M. to convince the investigating officer about his bonafides and on any other date as and when his presence required. Adjourned to 26.05.2011 to await the report of the investigating officer. In the meantime, arrest of the petitioner shall remain stayed.” Crl. Misc. No.M-8709 of 2011 (O&M) -2- On instructions from ASI Prithvi Singh learned Deputy Advocate General has stated that the petitioner has joined the investigation and he is no more required for custodial interrogation. In the circumstances, without going into the merits of the case, I deem it appropriate to grant the concession of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Ordered accordingly. In the event of arrest of the petitioner, he shall be released on bail to the satisfaction of SHO/Investigating Officer subject to the conditions laid down under Section 438(2) Cr.P.C. Petition stands disposed of. ( AJAY TEWARI ) May 26, 2011 JUDGE ashish
