Mr. Lampu, learned counsel for the applicant, submits that in compliance with the said directions, the accused appeared before the investigating officer on 21.08.2026. On such appearance, the investigating officer recorded the statement of the accused, however, he was not shown arrested as his arrest was not required. 5. The learned Addl. Public Prosecutor, Arunachal Pradesh, while referring to the Case Diary, submits that the accused appeared before the investigating officer of the case on 21.08.2026 and his statement was also recorded. He further submits that, since the alleged missing/stolen scooty has already been recovered and the accused is cooperating with the investigation of the case, his further custodial interrogation/remand is not presently required. He, therefore, has no objection if the interim pre-arrest bail granted to the accused, is made absolute, subject to such additional conditions as may be necessary to ensure his continued cooperation with the investigation of the case. 6. I have considered the submissions advanced by the learned counsels for the parties and also perused the available record. Page No.# 3/4
