This is a petition for anticipatory bail in FIR No. 72 dated 2.8.2007 registered under Sections 61-1/14 of the Excise Act and under Sections 420, 465, 467, 468, 471, 120-B IPC at Police Station, Banur, District Patiala. Vide order dated August 10, 2007, petitioners were granted interim bail subject to their joining investigation. It is not disputed that the petitioners had already joined investigation. No recovery is to be effected from the petitioners as the liquor in question has already been recovered from them. The submission of learned counsel for the petitioners is that brother of petitioner no. 1 contested election for Municipal Councilor against the candidate of ruling party and it is for that reason that petitioners have been involved in the present case. Be that as it may, without opining on the allegations made by the petitioners, keeping in view the fact that no recovery is to be effected and petitioners had already joined investigation, interim order passed on August 10, 2007 is made absolute. This petition is disposed of accordingly. January 09, 2008 (Rajesh Bindal) Pka Judge
