The petitioners are residents of the State of Manipur and because of the ethnic violence going in the State they could not come and appear before the court below in spite of Non Bailable Warrant of Arrest issued against them by the trial court. The petitioners have submitted that they now want to appear before the trial court and they should be given some opportunity to that effect. I have considered the submission made by the learned counsel for

Accordingly, the orders directing issuance of non bailable warrant of arrest against the petitioners, namely (1) Ms. Yumnam Sundari Devi (2) Ms. Yumnam Romi Devi (3) Ms. Khuraijam Ibempishak Devi (4) Ms. Wahengbam Sorodhoni Devi (5) Ms. Sapam Chaoba Devi are hereby set aside.

With the aforesaid direction this criminal petition stands disposed of. JUDGE Comparing Assistant
