This Court while issuing notice of motion on 29.06.2010 passed the following order:- “Crl.M.No.31206 of 2010 Application is allowed subject to all just exceptions. Crl.M.No.M-17475 of 2010 Argues that no injury has been attributed to the petitioners and that entire family of petitioner No.1-Harpal Singh has been implicated in this case and that petitioner No.2 is servant of petitioner No.1-Harpal Singh. It is further contended that main accused Nirmal Singh has already been arrested and released on regular bail, whereas other co-accused have been released on anticipatory bail by learned Sessions Judge. Notice of motion for 14.7.2010. However, petitioners are directed to join the investigation and in case they are arrested, they shall be released on interim bail by the Arresting Officer to his satisfaction subject to compliance of conditions specified under Section 438(2) Cr.P.C.” It has been stated by learned counsel for the petitioners that they have already joined the investigation pursuant to said order dated 29.06.2010. It has also been stated by learned counsel for the State that petitioners have joined the investigation and that they are no more required for any custodial interrogation. There are no allegations on behalf of the State that petitioners are likely to abscond or that they are likely to dissuade the witnesses from deposing true facts in the Court, if released on bail. Hence, in view of these facts and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, the anticipatory bail application filed on behalf of Harpal Singh and Harbant Singh, is accepted and order dated 29.06.2010 granting interim bail in favour of the petitioners is, hereby, made absolute subject to compliance of conditions specified under Section 438(2) Cr.P.C. The present petition stands disposed of accordingly. 2 ( RAM CHAND GUPTA ) July 14, 2010. JUDGE 'om' 3
