O R D E R

Heard the learned counsel on either side.

2. The learned Additional Public Prosecutor states that respondents 3 and 4 have given a complaint against the petitioner and the enquiry is still pending.

3. I am of the view that interest of justice will be served by issuing the following directions:- (i) The second respondent will issue summons in writing, if he wants to enquire the petitioner. There cannot be any oral summon for attending enquiry.

(ii) If the second respondent registers any FIR, the petitioner will be given due notice, so that, the petitioner will have breathing time to move the concerned Court for the relief of anticipatory bail.
