Status report stands filed. 3. Mr. Shiv Pal Manhans, learned Additional Advocate General, under instructions of ASI Maan Dass, submits that petitioner has joined the investigation and has cooperated with the Investigating Agency. Further submitted that now, nothing is to be recovered from the petitioner. The Investigating Officer, present in the Court, has categorically stated that the custodial interrogation of the petitioner is not required, however, he may have to be interrogated during further investigation. 4. Petitioner is local resident of the area and there is nothing available on record so as to infer that the petitioner has ever involved in the commission of the same or any other offence in the past. There are no chances of fleeing of the petitioner. Also, in view of the status report and the statement of the Investigating officer, the petitioner can be associated/interrogated in future without keeping him in custody. Therefore, curtailing his personal liberty, at this stage, by sending him to judicial custody will serve no fruitful purpose. 5.
