JUSTICE RAJESH BINDAL Present: Mr. Om Pal Sharma, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Mehardeep Singh, Deputy Advocate General, Punjab. .. Rajesh Bindal J. The petitioner has been arrayed as an accused in the FIR not with any direct allegation against him regarding cheating but stating therein that he, being relative of the main accused, namely, Sanjay Kumar and Ravinder Kumar, is knowing their whereabouts, as after cheating lot of people, they have absconded. It is not disputed that the petitioner has joined the investigation. He submits that after the FIR was registered on 31.5.2009, the petitioner received a phone call from Ravinder on 18.6.2009. Thereafter, he is not in contact with them and presently is not knowing their whereabouts. As there are no allegations of cheating against the petitioner in the FIR, I do not find that his custodial interrogation is required. Accordingly, the interim bail granted to the petitioner on 20.7.2009 is made absolute. The petition stands disposed of. (Rajesh Bindal) Judge 2.9.2009 mk
