I have heard the counsel for the parties and gone through the contents of the FIR. Counsel for the petitioner contends that in terms of the interim order dated August 21, 2006, the petitioner has joined the investigation. This fact has not been disputed by the State counsel and he further states that the petitioner is no more required for further investigation.

This bail order shall remain in operation till the investigation culminates into filing of challan under Section 173 Cr.P.C. except for material change in the circumstances.
