The petitioner has already joined the investigation. He is not required for investigation or custodial interrogation. The case is based on documentary evidence. No useful purpose will be served by sending the petitioner to custody.

Keeping in view the facts and circumstances of the case and without discussing the facts of the case in minute details and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, I find it a fit case, where the petitioner is entitled to benefit of anticipatory bail. Therefore, the present petition is accepted and the order dated 24.05.2018 granting interim bail to the petitioner, is made absolute.
