env looks up bash in the list of directories specified by the
$PATH environment variable.
On few systems env might not even be in /usr/bin (although its rare). bash might not also be in $PATH variable.
Code:
 bash /path/to/script

is still better in terms of portability , just what i think.

you are right. Probably I will make a wrapper on the top of the entire script system, and I will call the scripts from the wrapper in this way.
Many thanks to everybody.
