The petitioners apprehending arrest in the FIR captioned above have come up before this Court under Section 438 CrPC seeking anticipatory bail. 2.

Vide order dated 28.1.2022, a co-ordinate Bench of this Court had granted interim bail to the petitioners subject to their joining investigation. 3.

Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that pursuant to order dated 28.01.2021, the petitioners have joined the investigation and their custodial interrogation is no more required.

Learned counsel appearing for the State has opposed the bail on the ground that the allegations against the petitioners are serious in nature. However, she has submitted that in case this Court is inclined to grant bail to the petitioners, they be directed to join investigations as and when required. 5.

Given above, the present petition is allowed and interim order dated 28.01.2021 is made absolute, subject to following additional conditions:- i) That the petitioners shall join investigations as and when directed by the investigating officer;
