UPON hearing the counsel the Court made the following
O R D E R
1 We are not inclined to entertain the Special Leave Petition against the grant of
bail by the High Court to the respondent.2
2 Since the observations in the impugned order of the High Court are confined to the question as to whether the respondent was entitled to the grant of bail, we clarify that these observations shall be construed only for that purpose. In other words, the observations shall not affect the merits of the trial or be pressed in any other collateral proceedings.
3 The Special Leave Petition is accordingly dismissed.
4 Pending applications, if any, stand disposed of.
