Analysis In light of the above said circumstances, wherein there is a dispute qua the possession of the card; the petitioner was named on the basis of the disclosure statement of the co-accused; the main accused Dr. Vijay Kumar Gupta has already been granted concession of anticipatory bail; it would be unjust and unfair to send him behind the bars, hence, this Court finds no reason to deny the petitioner the concession of anticipatory bail, wherein the petitioner has bona fide intentions and is willing to join the investigation and cooperate for furtherance of the same so that the final report can be submitted by the Investigating Agency within the stipulated time period. 5. Relief Hence, in view of the admitted set of circumstances before this Court, the petitioner is hereby directed to be released on anticipatory bail subject to him joining investigation and reporting to the Investigating Officer concerned within a period of one week from today, on furnishing of personal/surety bonds to the satisfaction of Arresting/Investigating Officer.
