Petitioner is an accused in C.R.No.I-47 of 2010. He has been granted bail by the learned Sessions Judge on 10th June, 2010. One of the conditions of the bail is that petitioner shall co-operate with the investigation. Petitioner has been summoned to remain present by the Investigating Agency to record a statement under Section 160 of the Criminal Procedure Code. Petitioner did not respond to one such summons dated 19th July, 2010. Thereupon, fresh summons dated 26.8.2010 has been issued asking him to remain present on 6.9.2010. This also petitioner did not do. He has challenged the said summons dated 26.8.2010, copy of which is produced at Annexure-A to the petition.
I do not see any reason to interfere. Petitioner is duty bound to co-operate with the investigation. This is also one of the conditions on which, he has been granted bail. I see no illegality of respondents asking him to remain present or recording his statement.
Petition is, therefore, dismissed.
