mother-in-law of the complainant. The marriage between the son of the

petitioner and the complainant was solemnized on 13.12.2014. Out of this

this Court, petitioner has joined the investigation.

Learned State counsel, on instructions from ASI Ranjit Singh,

does not dispute the fact that the petitioner is mother-in-law of the

complainant, however, he states that recovery of gold articles is yet to be

effected in the case.

Heard learned counsel for the parties.

Since the petitioner has joined the investigation and she is

mother-in-law of the complainant and the recovery of gold articles is yet to

be effected, since husband of the complainant is not on bail, present petition

is allowed and the interim bail granted to the petitioner vide order dated

05.02.2019 is made absolute.

However, if required, the petitioner shall continue to join

investigation as and when required to do so and shall abide by the terms and

conditions, as laid down under Section 438(2) Cr.P.C.
