Learned counsel for the State opposes the prayer for pre-arrest bail.

Taking into account the nature of allegation and the submissions made, this Court directs that on surrendering within three weeks hence and moving for bail, the Petitioners shall be released on bail by the learned Court in seisin on such terms as deemed just and proper subject to verification of criminal antecedent of similar nature.

If it comes to the fore that the Petitioners have any such criminal antecedent, this order shall not be given effect to.

It is needless to state that the Petitioners shall

cooperate with the ongoing investigation.

Accordingly, the ABLAPL stands disposed of.

U.C.C. as per rules.
