not M-2541 of 2013 =2= and her custodial interrogation is not required.
According to him, danda has already been recovered, though, from one Rakesh.
The fiRs.important aspect of the case is absence of the name of the petitioner in the FIR.
If she would have been there at the spot, she would have been noticed and her name would have appeared in the FIR.
If she had caused injury to Anita then statement of Anita is also important and Anita says that she caused an injury to her.
Anita is said to be in receipt of one incised wound which cannot correspond to the injury caused by a danda.
The danda already stands recovered.
The petitioner has joined the investigation and her custodial interrogation is not required as stated by learned State counsel.
In view of these circumstances, without commenting on the merits of the case, I find the petitioner to be entitled to pre- arrest bail.
Consequently, the petition is allowed and order dated 06.02.2013 granting interim anticipatory bail to the petitioner is made absolute.
