Having heard learned counsel for the parties and upon perusal of the record, this Court finds that the allegations made in the First Information Report are specific and prima facie supported by the material collected during investigation. The charge-sheet has already been filed against the applicants after due investigation.

In case the applicants has any grievance with regard to the proceedings, they may avail appropriate remedy. Accordingly, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, the present anticipatory bail application is hereby rejected. It is made clear that observations made in the instant anticipatory bail shall not in any way affect the learned trial Judge in forming his independent opinion based on the testimony of the witnesses.
