Cr. Misc. No.M-15905 of 2017 [2] have gone through the record.

The petitioner has been summoned in a complaint case under Section 302 IPC. She was not stated to be armed with any weapon. No injury is attributed to her. Only push blow is stated to have been attributed to the petitioner. She is not required for investigation or interrogation purposes as it is a complaint case. She is only to face the trial it being a complaint case. No useful purpose will be served by sending the petitioner to custody.

Keeping in view the facts and circumstances of the present case and in view of the fact that the petitioner has already surrendered before the trial Court and has been released on interim bail; I find merit in this petition and the same is allowed. The interim order dated 8.5.2017 passed by this Court granting interim bail to the petitioner is made absolute. May 30, 2017.
