CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AMOL RATTAN SINGH Present:- Mr. Rajan Singh Dadwal, Advocate, for the petitioners in both the petitions.

Mr. Ramdeep Partap Singh, DAG, Punjab Amol Rattan Singh, J. (Oral) Cases heard by way of video conferencing.

By these two petitions, the petitioners seek the concession of 'anticipatory bail' under the provisions of Section 438 Cr.P.C., upon DDR no.27, dated 10.03.2019 [in FIR no.41 dated 10.03.2019, registered at Police Station Jagraon, District Ludhiana (Rural)], having been registered at Police Station City Jagraon, District Ludhiana (Rural), alleging therein the commission of offences punishable under Sections 342, 365, 323, 294, 379B, 148 and 149 of the IPC. Today learned State counsel on instructions from ASI Gurcharan Singh, submits that pursuant to the orders passed by this court in these petitions on 18.02.2020 and 19.03.2020 respectively, all the VIKAS CHANDER 2021.07.31 17:09 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document

203/2) -2petitioners in both the petitions have joined investigation and presently at least their custodial interrogation is not required. That being so, without making any comment on the actual merits of the case, whatsoever, since the investigating agency itself does not require the custodial interrogation of the petitioner, these petitions have in fact been rendered infructuous and are disposed of as such. However, if the petitioners' custodial interrogation is required at any stage hereinafter, in the context of the FIR in question, they would be given 7 days notice before arrest, duly shown to be served upon them. Naturally, if the complainant is aggrieved in any manner, of lack of proper investigation, he/she would be always at liberty to avail of his/her remedy as per law.

A copy of this order be placed on the file of the other connected matter too.
