Addl. Sessions Judge, Karnal. In view of the above, present petition is disposed of with a direction that the concession of interim anticipatory bail shall be extended to the petitioner till his bail application under Section 438 Cr.P.C is decided. However, it is clarified that nothing observed herein above shall be construed to be an expression of opinion on the merit of the case. July 13, 2010 ( JASWANT SINGH ) manoj JUDGE
