Learned counsel for the State, on instructions, from ASI

Resham Singh, submits that the petitioner has joined investigation. He is not

required for custodial interrogation.

There are no allegations on behalf of the State that the

petitioner is likely to abscond, if released on bail.

Keeping in view the facts and circumstances noted above but

without expressing any opinion on the merits of case, it is considered just

and expedient to allow this petition. Consequently, order dated 06.03.2017

is made absolute.

Liberty is afforded to the complainant to move an appropriate

application in case the petitioner does not comply with or adhere to the

terms and conditions of the settlement arrived at between the parties.
