==================== B.A.Nos. 3286, 3287,3309 3312&3313 of 2015 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dated this the 15th day of June, 2015 C O M M O N O R D E R Petition filed under Section 438 Cr.P.C.

2. Petitioners apprehend that they will be arrested by the police in these cases in which the son of the petitioner in Bail Application Nos. 3287 and 3286 and husband of the petitioner in the other three cases is an accused. The allegation is that the accused committed the offence under Section 392 IPC. The prosecution case is that riding on a motor cycle, he snatched gold chains of the victims.

3. Heard.

4.Learned Public Prosecutor submits that the petitioners are not accused in the above cases. But, the accused is involved in 26 similar cases. He is in custody. His confession statement has revealed that he used to entrust the stolen articles in the cases under consideration with the petitioners. But, so far they have not been arrayed as accused. It appears that interrogation of the petitioners is necessary if the Investigating Officer is satisfied that

B.A.No. 3286 and con. Cases of 2015 ::2::

they are involved in the commission of the offences. A direction to the Investigating Officer to comply with Section 41A Cr.P.C. if the petitioners are arrested is sufficient.

In the result, these applications are dismissed. The Investigating Officer shall comply with Section 41A Cr.P.C. if he satisfied that the petitioners are involved in the commission of the offences.
