(2.) Heard. Perused the FIR and the papers of investigation produced on record.

(3.) At the outset, it is to be noted that the applicant had preferred an application for anticipatory bail. On hearing the parties to the application, this Court was inclined to grant the applicant anticipatory bail. The application was reserved for orders. Inclination to protect the applicant was disclosed in open Court. Still, the Investigating Officer arrested the applicant. As a matter of discipline, the Investigating Officer ought to have awaited until passing of the order. Be that as it may.
