State of U.P., Criminal Misc. Anticipatory Bail Application U/S No.438 Cr.P.C. No. 8285 of 2020. Learned counsel for the applicants has submitted that from the material collected by the Investigating Officer, no offence is made out against the applicants, hence they are entitled to be enlarged on anticipatory bail till conclusion of trial.

It is made clear that the applicants will not be granted any further time by this court for surrendering before the court below as directed above.
With the aforesaid directions, this application is finally disposed of. Order Date :- 23.3.2021 SS
