CRM-M-14810 of 2015 Learned counsel for the complainant vehemently contended that conduct of the petitioner disentitles him for the concession of anticipatory bail. She prays for dismissal of the present petition.

Having heard the learned counsel for the parties and after careful perusal of the record of the case this Court is of the considered opinion that in the given fact situation of the present case, petitioner has been found entitled for the concession of anticipatory bail. It is so said, because since the investigation is already complete, petitioner is no more required for custodial interrogation by the investigating agency. Further, recovery has already been effected from the petitioner.

In view of the above and without commenting anything further on the merits of the case, lest it should prejudice the rights of either of the parties, present petition is allowed and order dated 7.5.2015 passed by this Court is hereby made absolute, however, subject to the conditions envisaged under Section 438 (2) Cr.P.C. Disposed of, accordingly.
