Further contends that specific allegations are against co-accused Bant Kaur only and not against the present petitioner. Further contends that Bant Kaur has already been arrested and release on bail. Notice of motion for 25.11.2010. 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.” This Court while issuing notice of motion in Crl. Misc. No. M- 32893 of 2010 on 10.11.2010 passed the following order:- “Crl.M.No.58441 of 2010 Application is allowed subject to all just exceptions. Crl.M.No.M-32893 of 2010 Contends that even as per allegations in the FIR, no amount has been paid to the petitioner. Further contends that main accused Smt. Bant Kaur has already been arrested in this case. Further contends that case of present petitioner is similar 2 CRM No.M-31078 of 2010 to co-accused Jaspal Kaur, who has already been granted interim bail by this Court. Notice of motion for 25.11.2010. 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. To be heard alongwith Crl.M.No.M-31078 of 2010.” It has been stated by learned counsel for the petitioners that they have already joined the investigation pursuant to said orders dated 28.10.2010 and 10.11.2010. It has also been stated by learned counsel for the State that petitioners have joined the investigation. However, bail application has been opposed by learned counsel for the State. 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, both the anticipatory bail applications filed on behalf of Jaswapl Kaur @Pallan and Surinder Singh @Chhinda are accepted and orders dated 28.10.2010 and 10.11.2010 granting interim bail in favour of the petitioners are, hereby, made absolute subject to compliance of conditions specified under Section 438(2) Cr.P.C. Both the petitions stand disposed of accordingly. ( RAM CHAND GUPTA ) November 25, 2010. JUDGE 'om' 3 CRM No.M-31078 of 2010 4
