Even the recovery of the offence weapon or the alleged mobile has not been made.

However, the investigation is complete and the custody of the petitioner is no more required. 8.

Moti Nagar, the petitioner is already on bail. The other alleged case is under Delhi Excise Act and the trial of the said case has not yet commenced.
