I have heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned Assistant Advocate General, Punjab appearing for the respondent-State and have gone through the record.

Cr. Misc. No.M-40800 of 2017 [2] to remain ill and used to go away from house without telling anyone and his father died suddenly due to natural death. No injury had been mentioned in the post-mortem examination report nor anything came to light in the inquest report that death was unnatural. The viscera was sent and no poison was found in the viscera also.

Now, after about two years, the present FIR has been got registered by same complainant, who got recorded the DDR i.e. Jashanbir Singh son of the deceased by levelling allegations against the present petitioners and co-accused that they kidnapped his father and killed him. The petitioners are not required for custodial interrogation. No useful purpose will be served by sending the petitioners 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 accept this criminal miscellaneous petition and in the event of arrest, the petitioners shall be admitted to bail on their furnishing personal bonds and surety each to the satisfaction of the Arresting/Investigating Officer. The petitioners 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.
