Heard the learned counsel for the parties.

The order passed by the High Court appears to be
unusual one. Learned counsel for the State submits that at
present the respondents-applicants are absconding.
Normally, when the accused are absconding there is no
question of granting anticipatory or regular bail.


-2-

Admittedly, neither the High Court nor the Sessions Court
has granted anticipatory bail in this matter. Hence, it
would be open to the Investigating Officer to arrest the
respondents.

At the request of the learned counsel for the
petitioners the matter is adjounred for four weeks.
