UPON hearing the counsel the Court made the following
O R D E R
Heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the petition papers.
It is noted that through the impugned order though the High Court had granted the benefit of anticipatory bail to the petitioners, condition to pay Rs.5,00,000/- jointly to the informant has been imposed. This Court at the first instance, while directing notice to the respondents on 13.02.2020 had stayed the said condition and therefore, the anticipatory bail granted to the petitioners has enured to their benefit thereafter.
1 SLP (Crl.) No. 935/2020 In that view, we make the order dated 13.02.2020 absolute and the benefit of the anticipatory bail shall continue to enure to the benefit of the petitioners without reference to the impugned condition till the completion of the trial. The special leave petition is, accordingly, disposed of.
Pending application(s) shall stand disposed of.
