Cr. Misc. No.M-20095 of 2017 [2] From the record, I find that the petitioner has been summoned in the complaint case by the Court. The present petitioner has appeared before the trial Court and has been released on interim bail. The petitioner is not required for any interrogation or investigation purposes. The trial of the case will take long time. No useful purpose will be served by sending the petitioner to custody.

Keeping in view the facts and circumstances of the present case; without discussing the facts in minute detail and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, I find merit in this petition and the same is allowed. The interim order dated 1.6.2017 passed by this Court granting interim bail to the petitioner is made absolute. August 3, 2017.
