( 2 ) CRM-M-43946-2021 the said two accused. The petitioner was nominated as an accused in the present case on the basis of alleged disclosure made by co-accused. The present case involves recovery of small quantity of contraband that too from co-accused Harish Kumar and Rajinder Kumar. The petitioner who has already joined the investigation is not required by the police for any further investigation. So, I am of the view that no purpose will be served even if the petitioner is sent to custody at this point of time. In the light of the above, this bail application is allowed and the order of interim bail dated 19.10.2021 is hereby made absolute subject to conditions envisaged under Section 438(2) Cr.P.C.
