Criminal Misc. No. M-17080 of 2015 Faced with the above, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that he has specifically informed the petitioner that he was duty bound to join the investigation in compliance of the orders dated 25.5.2015 and 31.7.2015 passed by this Court. Thereafter, he received no instructions from the petitioner whether the petitioner has joined the investigation or not.

In view of the above undisputed fact that petitioner has not joined the investigation, despite having been granted two opportunities, petitioner has not been found entitled for the concession of anticipatory bail.

In view of the above, this Court is of the considered view that custodial interrogation of the petitioner would be a compulsive necessity of the investigating agency, so as to carry out an effective investigation. No case for anticipatory bail has been made out. Dismissed.
