Mr. Kataki submits that the petitioner has rightly contended that he has been called as a witness and he has to just join the investigation and that therefore there is no basis for his apprehension of arrest. 4.

However, petitioner is directed to cooperate with the investigation and shall appear before the investigating authority as and when called for and during the course of appearance, no coercive action may be taken against the petitioner. 5. The present petition stands disposed of on the aforesaid terms. JUDGE Comparing Assistant
