Learned counsel for the State opposed this petition but was unable to controvert the fact of inordinate delay in lodging the FIR; There is no allegation that the petitioner after having been admitted to pre-arrest bail has misused the concession of bail. The order dated 3-8-1987 admitting the petitioner to ad interim pre-arrest bail is, therefore, confirmed.
