Learned counsel for the petitioner contended that the petitioner has already got registered the DDR regarding theft of the cheque etc. The petitioner has already joined the investigation. He is not required for custodial interrogation. No useful purpose will be served by sending and keeping the petitioner in custody till the disposal of the case. 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 18.03.2019 granting interim bail to the petitioner, is made absolute.
