It may be mentioned that by order, dated 25. 11. 2020, this Court granted the privilege of interim pre-arrest bail to the petitioner. Perusal of the case diary shows that pursuant to the interim pre-arrest bail granted earlier, the petitioner appeared before the I. O. and got his statement recorded u/s 161 Cr. P. C. There is scanty prima facie incriminating material against the petitioner. Therefore, the interim pre-arrest bail granted vide order, dated 25. 11. 2020 is hereby made absolute, subject to the following conditions- (i) That the petitioner shall co-operate in investigation as and when required; (ii) That the petitioner shall not, directly or indirectly, make any inducement, threat or promise to any person acquainted with the facts of the case so as to dissuade him from disclosing such facts to the Court or to any police officer. Return the case diary.
This disposes off the anticipatory bail application. JUDGE Comparing Assistant
