Application is allowed subject to all just exceptions. Anexures P-1 to P-4 are taken on record. Application stands disposed of accordingly. Crl.M.No.M-23062 of 2010 Argues that petitioner, who is an old lady of 75 years of age, is seriously ill as she suffered paralytic attack and bed ridden for the last five years. Further contends that husband and son of petitioner have already been arrested in this case and released on regular bail. Further contends that FIR in this case has been lodged after about 9 years of marriage. Notice of motion for 1.9.2010. However, petitioner is directed to join the investigation and in case she is arrested, she 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 petitioner that she has already joined the investigation pursuant to said order dated 11.8.2010. It has also been stated by learned counsel for the State that petitioner has joined the investigation and that she is no more required for any custodial interrogation. There are no allegations on behalf of the State that petitioner is likely to abscond or that she is 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 Dalip Kaur, is accepted and order dated 11.08.2010 granting interim bail in favour of the petitioner is, hereby, made absolute subject to compliance of conditions specified under Section 438(2) Cr.P.C.
