Cr. Misc. No.M-37072 of 2018 [2] armed with a sword and two injuries have been attributed to him with sword. A perusal of the record shows that injury No.1 is stated to an abrasion on the forehead which cannot be caused with sharp edged weapon. As regards injury No.2, it is an incised wound on the forearm. This injury is stated to be simple. The petitioner has already joined the investigation. He is not required for 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 28.8.2018 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. October 03, 2018.
