I have gone through the case diary. Prima facie , there appears to be materials pointing to the involvement of the applicant. In that view of the matter, I am not inclined to grant an order by invoking the powers under section 438 of the Cr.P.C. to the applicant. The applicant is directed to surrender before the investigating officer or the court having jurisdiction forthwith and seek regular bail. If an
