He further submits that the investigation is still going on and if the petitioner is granted bail at this stage, it may hamper the investigations. 7. I have considered the submissions by the learned counsel for both sides. Considering the nature of accusation made against the present petitioner and the period of detention already undergone by him i.e 76 days, this Court is of the considered opinion that if he cooperates in the investigation, his further custodial interrogation may not be necessary for fair completion of the investigation of Crime Branch P.S.
