Cr. Misc. No.M-9749 of 2015 [2] Manpreet Kaur. The main allegations are against the husband of Manpreet Kaur. The dowry articles are also supposed to be in the possession of the husband of Manpreet Kaur. 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 26.3.2015 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. September 17, 2015.
