RAM CHAND GUPTA, J.(Oral) The present petition filed under Section 438 Cr.P.C. is for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioners in FIR No.207, dated 16.8.2009, registered under Sections 307/382/323/148/149 IPC, and 25/27 of Arms Act, at Police Station Sadar Fazilka. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and have gone through the whole record carefully. During the course of arguments, learned counsel of the petitioners states that he does not want to press the present petition filed by Baldev Singh, petitioner no.3, for grant of anticipatory bail and the same may be dismissed as withdrawn. So ordered. Petitioner no.3-Baldev Singh is directed to surrender before the Investigating Officer. A Coordinate Bench of this Court while issuing notice of motion on 27.11.2009, passed the following order: “ Heard. Notice to A.G.Punjab for 29.1.2010. Meanwhile, in the event of arrest, the petitioners shall be admitted to ad-interim anticipatory bail to the satisfaction of Crl.M.No.M 33538 of 2009 (O&M) -2- arresting/investigating Officer. They shall join the investigation as and when called upon to do so and shall abide by the conditions as envisaged under Section 438(2) Cr.P.C..” It has been stated by learned counsel for the petitioners that pursuant to the said order, the petitioners have already joined the investigation and that nothing is to be recovered from them and they are not required for any investigation. It has been stated by learned State counsel as well that the petitioners have joined the investigation and that petitioner nos.1,2,4 and 5, namely, Inderjit Singh, Amarjit Kaur, Iqbal Singh and Baljit Kaur are no more required for any custodial interrogation by the police. There are no allegations on behalf of the State that petitioner nos.1,2, 4 and 5 are likely to abscond or that they are likely to dissuade the witnesses from deposing true facts in the Court, if released on bail. In view of these facts and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, order dated 27.11.2009, granting interim bail to petitioner nos. 1,2,4 and 5, namely, Inderjit Singh, Amarjit Kaur, Iqbal Singh and Baljit Kaur is, hereby confirmed subject to the compliance of conditions contained in Section 438(2) Cr.P.C. The present petition stands disposed of accordingly. 22.3.2010 (Ram Chand Gupta) meenu Judge
