The matter was heard for some time. The learned Government Pleader appearing for the State seeks time to peruse the investigation papers. Consequently, the matter shall be taken up on the next date of hearing. Regarding interim relief, learned Senior Counsels Mr. Deshmukh and Mr. Salunke submitted that several complaints were previously lodged by the District Bar Association, Beed (of which the applicants are members) regarding the alleged illegal actions of the informant, Mr. Satish Vasant Dhumal, as well as accused Sanjay Hange, Avinash Chavan, and Shaikh Azar Shaikh Babu. It is further submitted that due to interference by staff at the Collector's office, clients were bypassing legal channels to contact employees directly, thereby hindering the smooth functioning of lawyers who had filed appeals for enhanced compensation under the National Highways Act. The learned Senior Counsels contended that the present FIR was filed at the behest of the Collector with the sole intention of wreaking vengeance, and that the applicants have been falsely implicated as
