It is further contended that he was only an employee with the liquor shop and that owner has also been arrested. Notice of motion for 12.5.2010. However, petitioner is directed to join the investigation and in case he is arrested, he 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 petitioner has already joined the investigation pursuant to said order dated 05.04.2010.
