Bail petition is opposed by learned counsel representing State. It is confirmed that petitioner was joined in the investigation on 20.11.2024 and gold ornaments weighing 240 gms. were recovered, duly identified by the complainant. Recovery memo was accordingly prepared. It is pointed out that some more gold
ornaments weighing 11 tolas are yet to be recovered. Therefore, present petitioner did not fully cooperate with the investigating agency. 4.
I have considered the aforesaid arguments and have gone through the record carefully. In the case in hand, petitioner was granted interim relief during the pendency of present anticipatory bail petition. Matter was also referred to the Mediation and Conciliation Centre of this Court but it could not be settled. The contents of status report indicate that petitioner cooperated with the investigating agency, as a result, 240 gms. of gold jewellery has been recovered. It is the case of complainant along with learned counsel representing State that further gold jewellery weighing 11 tolas are yet to be recovered. Substantial recovery has been effected. It is matter of trial regarding giving of other gold ornaments weighing 11 tolas or its misappropriation. Since, petitioner cooperated with the investigating agency.
I do not find any reason to put him behind the bars. Therefore, without going on the merits of the case, anticipatory bail petition filed by petitioner -Maninderjeet Singh is allowed. He be not arrested. In case of his arrest, he be released on bail to the satisfaction of Arresting/Investigating Officer concerned, subject to condition that petitioner will join investigation as and when required. He will not tamper with or interfere with investigation and will not leave country without prior permission as provided under Section 482(2) BNSS.
5.
Pending miscellaneous application(s), if any, stand disposed of accordingly as well.
