Cr. Misc. No.M-33921 of 2015 [2] has been summoned under Section 319 Cr.P.C. by the trial Court. He was not originally challaned. The present petitioner is not required for investigation or interrogation purposes, but he is only to appear before the trial Court to face trial.

The petitioner has already appeared before the trial Court as stated by his counsel and has been released on interim bail. 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 5.10.2015 passed by this Court granting interim bail to the petitioner is made absolute. November 30, 2015.
