At the very out-set learned counsel appearing on behalf of the applicants submits that he does not want to press the principal prayers seeking quashing of the charge sheet and the entire proceedings as have been made in the application nor is inclined to press the prayer seeking stay of the proceedings. He is ready to submit to the jurisdiction of the court, seek bail and accept all the conditions which this Court may deem fit to impose upon him. The only prayer made by the learned counsel for the applicants is that the hearing of the bail application may be done on the same day.

For a period of 45 days from today, no coercive action shall be taken against the applicants. However, in case, the applicants do not appear before the Court below within the aforesaid period, coercive action shall be taken against them.
With the aforesaid observations, this application is finally disposed off.
