Cr. Misc. No.M-34670 of 2015 [2] From the record, I find that firstly, the petitioner is not named in the FIR. No allegations have been levelled by the complainant in the FIR that the present petitioner gave the forged insurance policy etc. Rather, as per the FIR, the insurance policy was given by Bhupesh Chaudhary, Manager Tata Motors and the same was found fake. During investigation, the name of the present petitioner had come.

The petitioner has already joined the investigation. The petitioner is not required for custodial interrogation. Nothing is to be recovered from him. 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 21.10.2015 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. November 3, 2015.
