Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the petitioner is an innocent person having no nexus with the FIR No.19/2017, under Sections 392/397/411/34 IPC & Sections 25/54/59 Arms Act, registered at Police Station-Badarpur, Delhi.

Looking into the above facts and circumstances of the case, the petitioner is directed to join the investigation and in the event of his arrest he be released on anticipatory bail in the sum of Rs.15,000/- with one surety of the like amount to the satisfaction of the Investigating Officer/SHO concerned with the condition that he shall not influence the prosecution witnesses; he shall not contact, threaten or coerce the victim/complainant or any of his/her family members or to indulge in any illegal activities; he shall not tamper the prosecution evidence and he should not leave India without prior permission of the Court below.

The present bail application is disposed of accordingly. However, this order shall not affect the merit of the case. Copy of this order be given dasti, as prayed. I.S.MEHTA, J APRIL 17, 2017/radhika
