P.C.:- By an order dated 12th March, 2018, the Applicant was granted interim relief.

Heard the learned counsel appearing for the Applicant and the learned APP. Perused the record of investigation. The first information report itself mentions that the principal accused Vilas Navrat signed the receipt of acceptance of gold from the first informant.
