   Learned State counsel on instructions from ASI Baljinder Singh has stated that pursuant to the order dated 14.09.2023 the petitioner has joined investigation and is no longer required for custodial interrogation. In view of above, the interim order dated 14.09.2023 passed by this Court is made absolute, subject to the conditions as enumerated under Section 438(2) Cr.P.C.

This order should not be treated as "blanket" order. It will not be read granting petitioner indefinite protection from arrest. It shall be confined to the FIR mentioned  and will not operate in respect of any other incident that involves commission of an offence.

This order does not in any manner limit or restrict the rights or duties of the police or investigating agency, to investigate into the charges against the petitioner.

The petitioner shall be deemed to be in custody for the purpose of Section 27 of the Evidence Act, 1872 in regard to a discovery of facts made in pursuance of information supplied by the petitioner in case the occasion arises. It will be open to the police or the investigating agency to move this court for a direction under Section 439 (2) Cr.P.C. to arrest the accused, in the event of violation of any term, such as absconding, non cooperating during investigation, evasion, intimidation or inducement to witnesses with a view to influence outcome of the investigation or trial.

Petition stands disposed off.

Needless to say that anything observed herein shall not be construed to be an opinion on the merits of the case.
