RAM CHAND GUPTA J.(Oral) The present petition under Section 438 Cr.P.C. read with Section 482 Cr.P.C. is for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner in case FIR No.141 dated 21.9.2009, under Sections 420,406,465,467,468,471 and 120-B IPC, registered at Police Station Sirhind, District Fatehgarh Sahib (Annexure P-1) on the basis of compromise (Annexure P-2). I have heard learned counsel for the parties and have gone through the whole record carefully. It has been stated by learned counsel for both the parties that the matter has since been compromised between the parties and that the said fact has also been mentioned in the order passed by Hon'ble Apex Court (Annexure P-6). It has also been stated by learned counsel for the complainant that he is having no objection if the present petition for anticipatory bail, filed by the petitioner is accepted. It has also been stated by learned counsel for the State Criminal Misc.No. M- 21744 of 2010 -2- that in view of compromise, petitioner is not required for any custodial interrogation by the State. There are no allegations on behalf of the State that the petitioner is likely to abscond or that he is likely to dissuade the witnesses from deposing true facts in the Court, if released on bail. Hence, in view of these facts, the present petition for anticipatory bail filed by petitioner-Sudhir Sood is accepted. However, he is directed to join the investigation and in case of arrest, he be released on bail to the satisfaction of Arresting Officer subject to compliance of conditions specified under Section 438(2) Cr.P.C. Disposed of accordingly. August 17, 2010 ( RAM CHAND GUPTA ) vj JUDGE
