ORDER

¶26

The petitioners are accused numbers 1 to 4, 7, 8 and 19

¶27

in Crime No. 384/CR/EOW-I/KLM registered for the offences under Section 420 read with Section 34 of the Indian Penal Code and Sections 3, 4 and 5 of Price Chits and Money Circulation (Banning) Act.

¶28

The petitioners have filed this petition praying for a relief under Section 438 Cr.P.C.

¶29

Heard.

¶30

The learned Public Prosecutor has no serious objection

¶31

in allowing this petition. It has been submitted by the learned Public Prosecutor that some other accused, who had approached this Court, had been granted the relief under Section 438 Cr.P.C. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case including the fact that some of the accused persons had been already granted relief under Section 438 Cr.P.C. by this Court, I am inclined to grant the same relief to the petitioners as well, as the petitioners are also similarly placed.
