Cr. Misc. No.M-29032 of 2018 [2] statement of co-accused. He also argued that co-accused has already been granted the benefit of anticipatory bail.

The present petitioner has already joined the investigation. As stated he is not required for any custodial interrogation. 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 13.07.2018 passed by this Court granting interim bail to the petitioner is made absolute. However, the petitioner shall join the investigation as and when called upon to do so and shall abide by the conditions of Section 438 (2) Cr.P.C. December 15, 2018.
