8 Today, learned State counsel, on instructions, submits that there are two other FIRs registered against the petitioner, in one of which he has still not been admitted to anticipatory bail. He does not deny, as per his instructions, the factum of the compromise reached between the petitioner and respondent no.2

-4That being so, without making any comment on the actual merits of the case, whatsoever, this petition is allowed, with the order admitting the petitioner to interim bail on September 06, 2019, made absolute on the same terms and conditions; with it however naturally observed that this order admitting the petitioner to bail would be only in the context of the FIR in question in the present petition and not in the context of any other FIR.

If the petitioners' custodial interrogation is required at any stage hereinafter, in the context of the FIR in question, he would be given 7 days notice before arrest, duly shown to be served upon him. Naturally, if the complainant is aggrieved in any manner, of lack of proper investigation, he/she would be always at liberty to avail of his/her remedy as per law.
