Judgment
Heard Ms. S. Khanikar, learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and Mr. B.S. Sinha, learned Addl. P.P. Perused the case diary and the materials on record. The FIR was lodged by the first informant alleging physical torture coupled with demand of dowry by her husband and in-laws. On perusal of the materials on record, I do not find sufficient incriminating ma terials warranting custodial interrogation of the petitioner in connection with this case and in the event of release of the petitioner on pre-arrest bail, furt her investigation of the case would not be adversely effected. Accordingly, the interim order passed by this Court on 18.12.2012 is hereby made absolute. However, on the condition that the petitioner shall appear before the I.O. within 10 days from today and thereafter shall make himself available for interrogation as and when required.
