committed and it being not disputed that the Petitioners’ release on pre-arrest bail shall not be an hindrance to a free and fair investigation, this Court is of the view that the Petitioners have made out a case for their release on pre-arrest bail, more particularly when they are ready and willing to cooperate with the investigation and they have no chance of absconding and/or tampering with the prosecution evidence, if released on pre-arrest bail.
