Heard.
Despite the opportunity granted to the petitioner to join investigation, he though appeared before the Investigating Officer, but he is not
cooperating in the investigation.
The Hon''ble Supreme Court in State rep. By the State Rep. by the C.B.I. Vs. Anil Sharma, has held as under:-
The custodial interrogation is qualitatively more elicitation oriented than questioning a suspect who is well ensconced with a favourable order u/s
438 of Cr.P.C.
Keeping in view the fact that the petitioner is not cooperating in the investigation, this Court is not inclined to grant any relief to the petitioner. In
the present case, the recovery of stolen mobile phone is yet to be effected from the petitioner, therefore, his custodial interrogation is required.
Accordingly, no case is made out to grant pre-arrest bail to the petitioner. Dismissed.
